New gas pipeline approved for Missouri River Breaks Monument area.

Montana's gas prices fell over the last week and one of the causes may be a series of bad economic news stories.

Montana's prices rose another two cents over the last week, bringing the average price in the State to $3.77 per gallon. But things are looking up nationally.

The more the price of gas creeps up in Missoula and across the country, the more I cringe at the thought of ever having wasted a single drop.

Gas prices are up again, but the speed of increasing costs seems to be slowing at the national level.

As gas approaches an average of $4.00 a gallon, the public isn’t happy with the way President Obama is dealing with the issue.

On Tuesday, U.S. Energy Secretary Dr. Stephen Chu was asked to give himself a grade regarding his departments efforts to control the price of gas at the pump. What grade would you give?

On Tuesday, the U.S. Secretary of Energy Dr. Steven Chu publicly backtracked on his prior opinion that domestic gas prices need to rise to European levels. This same week, Obama spoke out against his Republican opponents for their "flat-earth" mentality on energy. The focus on energy this week is driven by gas prices that not only hurt the wallet, they hurt Obama's re-election chances.

Uninsured driving is a serious matter in the eyes of the government, but perhaps none more so than for UK officials. In fact, some government authorities from across the pond would like to prohibit gas stations from letting those people fill up their tanks.

Montana has lagged behind the rest of the nation when it comes to higher gas prices, but that might be changing soon.
