Word on the Street

The average price of gas is down 35 cents per gallon in the past three weeks, and it hit a new five-month low.

Does that change how much you drive?

Does it mean anything to you?


"No. The trips I am making, I have to make, so I just pay what I have to pay."

"No. I don't have that much discretionary driving. I do what I have to do."

Tim Bynum
Criminal justice professor at MSU for the last 29 years


"Yeah, it does. I will fill it up, but when it is more expensive, I will just put in like ($20)."

Paul Yuen
25-year-old 2006 MSU alumnus


"Absolutely. Being a student, you can't afford to fill up your car all the time, especially driving back and forth from your home or university."

Lindsey Klestring
20-year-old Lansing Community College student
