I think it is good for the economy that the gas prices have decreased because people shouldn't have to pay that much money for a tank of gas. That's the reason why we citizens of the United States don't have enough money to put food in their kid's stomach.

I think its good news because it was $20.00 for 9.32 gallons of oil. It's way better than 6 years ago.

I think it's a bad thing because when people go to get gas the store might run out of gas so people don't have gas for their car.

I think gas prices gas decreasing are awesome for drivers ,but if house prices decrease with it would be bad for some one who wants to move because they won't get as much money back,but if house prices decrease than getting little money is okay because getting a other house would cost a little bit too.
