Motorists set to pay record sum on gas
The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in the U.S. this year never reached the highs seen in 2008, when the all-time record of $4.114 was reached. The 2012 average never even climbed as high as it was last year, when it hit $3.965, according to the Energy Department.
But fuel prices have been so consistently high in 2012 that American motorists are on pace to spend more on gasoline this year – $483 billion, or $1.32 billion a day – than they ever have before, according to the Oil Price Information Service in New Jersey.
That would break the old record for the amount of money spent by Americans on gasoline, set last year, by about $12 billion. That’s in spite of the fact that the U.S. average topped out this year at $3.941 a gallon back in April.
Unemployment rate drops in large cities
WASHINGTON – Unemployment rates declined last month in more than half of the 372 largest U.S. cities, further evidence of steady improvement in the job market.
The Labor Department said Wednesday that rates fell in 201 metro areas. They rose in 116 and were unchanged in 55. And the number of cities with unemployment below 7 percent rose to 180 last month, up from 107 a year ago.
Nationwide, the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent in September.

| BREWSTER FLAT ORCHARD: The 30,000 acres of orchard land on Brewster Flat was said to be “one of the finest tracts of land in the Northwest,” according to a caption that accompanied this photo published in The Wenatchee Daily World in 1913. The Okanogan Power and Irrigation Company supplied water to 1,200 acres on the Flat at that time with plans under way to bring in additional water from the Methow River. |
