A new survey shows you're not paying any more the gas pumped than you were three weeks ago.
Good news since late May. Motorists aren't paying any more for gas, but not paying any less either, according to the Lundberg Survey. Their gas price is still such a drag that motorists think that'll eventually affect the economy.
"It's not good, and people don’t like paying it, but yeah. I think we'll stay reasonably strong."
Others think there'll have to be a limit on how high gas prices can go.
There is enough public complaint about the price of things that they're gonna start doing something to bring the inflation down.
Gas prices still haven't come down in many areas despite increased supply, less demand and relatively stable crude oil prices.

And a new ringtone is setting your teenager's phone, which you may not even be able to hear.
Most schools ban the use of cellphones in class, but a ringtone with a very high frequency pitch is being downloaded into cellphones by teens. When that special tone rings on their phone, they know they have a new text message, the tone is audible to the younger ears, but because of something known as 'aging ears', most adults simply can't hear those tones. As we get older, we lose the ability to hear high pitch tones.
