“Gas prices are way too high!” said Bernard Wynder, the assistant vice president at Frostburg State. “I hope the population is not fooled by these prices. “ It was said that the gas prices were to go down after Labor Day. Well Labor Day has come and gone and the prices are getting higher. In Frostburg as of last night the cheapest gas was $ 2.85 9/10 at the Martians gas station. However, in Baltimore last night gas was $ 2.57 9/10 at the eagle mart. How can gas prices be that much different? Shaneka Baker a junior accounting major from Baltimore does not understand this either. “They are crazy how much they want for gas. It is crazy how it jumps from high to low.” There is no way gas can fluctuate from more than a few pennies every few days. Donna Sivic, the administrative assistant for the career center also thinks it is very suspicious. “I think they price gouge during holidays and the summer. They take gas prices up even when the prices of the barrels stay the same. We all should just stop buying gas and walk everywhere and I’m sure the prices will go way down.”
