...this years average cost of fuel sets a new record. For 2011, the national average price for fuel is about $3.50 a gallon. That accounts for about 8.4% of the average American familys income, the highest percentage in 30 years.
The average American household will have spent, a record, $4,155 filling up this year. Though its not what some Eastern Iowans wanted to hear, for many it wasnt a surprise.

Not always.
When the half of the population that votes for the First Impostor, and haven't a clue about how wealth is created, with an average IQ in the low 60s, the downward spiral is assured.
Got to get their attention somehow.
That’s because you don’t work for the EPA. All coal fired anything and all coal mining is BAD!!! If you don’t get that we have a re-education camp set up just for you.
I was thinking the same thing. The average driver drives about 12k mi/year, and the average price of gas is about $3.50/gal. If the average car gets about 30 mpg, then the average driver spends about (12000 mi/yr)($3.50/gal)(1/30 gal/mi) = $1400/yr. Figure 3 drivers per family, and the $4155 figure is about the total cost. However, the assertion above is in BOLD ALL CAPS, so it must be true.
4000 vs 40.
And the GOP is clueless.
APPROVE THE PIPLELINE DEAL NOW
Why does the re-education camps smell like burnt chicken?
Merry Christmas
Bingo.
He loves it when his Marxist ideals are going as planned.
Plus tghe Obama plan for skyrocketing electricity costs. The GOP is horrible on messaging and Obama is winning winning the propaganda war with the aid of his lapdog media.
Have Obama’s policies been wrong for U.S. domestic oil production? Yes. No doubt.
Had they been different, over just the past two years, would U.S. domestic oil production levels have amassed increased output levels sufficient to have radically changed the retail price of gasoline - a world commodity???
Not by much, if at all.
The changes needed with regard to U.S. domestic oil production, even if enacted two years ago, are changes that at most will affect FUTURE and long term U.S. domestic oil output, and help SLOW domestic retail gasoline price increases - IN THE LONG TERM.
There are things to blame Obama for with regard to U.S. domestic oil production issues - recent prices of gasoline is not big on that list; there are bigger world economic and energy supply matters affecting today’s gasoline prices.
I’ve noticed regular gasoline selling for $2.93 in area’s around San Antonio. I figure it is a re-election ploy so the zipperhead could claim that he has lowered the price gasoline, then have it shoot up again after the November elections.
So you are assuming people only drive on “average” 33 miles a day?. I cannot even begin to tell you how many people I know that 33 miles is ONE WAY to work for them.
When I lived in Colorado it was more like 60 miles one way..
I don’t doubt it for half a heartbeat. Add on “errands” you most likely had to do and spouse/significant other doing their thing. There is no way “average” is 12000 miles per year. That is dealeship lease stuff there.
Americans have to choose between eating lunch or having enough gas to get to work. The solution many have taken is to sleep in their cars at the company parking lot. Obama’s economy is all about Americans having the ingenuity to survive it.
The average is about 13,500 miles per year.
Next your going to tell me the CBO is accurate.
Sorry, I did misstate...the fact is still bad; gas prices cost more in 2011 than any time in recent history. Here is the exact quote from the article:
The average American household will have spent,a record, $4,155 filling up this year.
