The local news program that appeared on the main broadcast channel
for WALA-TV during the first half of the hour of 10:00 p.m. on the third
day of the month of May for this calendar year appeared to have had
this conversation between its news presenters (Lenise Ligon and Byron Day).
Lenise Ligon: Well in your consumer news
tonight: new cars sold in the United States have to have a rear-view
camera - it's an effort to reduce the number of deaths and injuries when
people are hit by drivers. That requirement, by the way, took effect
this week.
Byron Day: Well Lenise, we need those
back-up cameras so that we can watch our dollars fly away when we leave
the pump these days; we are creeping closer to three-dollar gas again
(emphasis). Triple A says the national average for a gallon of gas is
two dollars and eighty-one cents. Now prices have increased at least
three cents in the last week; as for our local prices, according to
Triple A, the average gas price for a gallon of unleaded in Alabama: two
dollars and fifty-three cents -- Mobile County's average: two dollars
and fifty-six cents; now if you're gassing up in Baldwin County, it's at
the top of the list: two dollars and sixty-two cents. Increased summer
driving as well as tensions in the middle east are reasons for the
higher prices at the pump.
Lenise Ligon: Stay with us, Jason has one more check on your forecast as we (emphasis) head into Friday (emphasis). Stay close.
