| Gas prices creeping down, but no one credits the oil companies. |

Gasoline priced at under $2 a gallon would have seemed like a fantasy last summer, but it's a reality at many gas stations across Ohio right now. Last July, the average price was more than $3, but since then, the price has plummeted. The top lobbyist for the major oil companies in Ohio, Terry Fleming, explains it this way.
Fleming says when prices were much higher, motorists complained bitterly, but now that they've dropped, no one is praising the oil companies. Fleming says he's learned to accept the fact that the oil industry has a negative image. |
