Watching gas prices rise 15-cents overnight will frighten the hardiest of souls. Fight back with a little information.
The University of Michigan Documents Center has just launched its Gasoline Prices web page at:
http://www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs/dn08/dn08gas.html
The web page is filled with statistics on pump and crude oil prices, exchange rates, and oil reserves. Did you know there are 42 gallons to a barrel of oil? It is also addresses solutions to high prices from supply and demand to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a gas tax holiday, and regulating commodity exchanges. In case you are wondering, there IS no existing windfall profits tax!
