The listener link about gas prices pointed to a story written in _2005_! Certainly not an indication of todays prices, The attached link is more current, however prices have gone up by 50 cents since even this story was written at the beginning of May!

Globally, prices range from 12 cents a gallon to $9.58, according to CNN Money.
Whomever sent in that link did the community a disservice by not actually READING the story first!
