A Caucasian man is seated behind a desk talking to a reporter. The man explains an expected increase in gasoline prices, reporter jots down notes. Man begins by saying "Crude oil from the Middle Eastern states comes here. We're paying more for it, that has to be translated into cents per gallon at the service station". Reporter states that premium gas prices are already being sold at .47 cents a gallon. Reporter asks if it will go up to .50 cents. Man responds "probably" next spring. Man then states that the majority of the gas being consumed is of the regular quality, this is because of polution and emission controls. "So you'll see gasoline at that level .44-.45 cents per gallion."
