want-free-gas.com oil experts are predicting the price will actually drop as much as 50 cents per gallon by the time summer hits. eddie garcia joins us live from a gas station on rio grande near i-40 with the latest. i’ve been talking to so many people out here who say they're slapped by "sticker-shock" every time they fill their tanks — and believe me they welcome the news of a 50 cent drop. let's show you what it would mean for a small suv just like this one. right now the average price for a gallon of gas in albuquerque is 3.74 a gallon. to fill this suv's 16 gallon tank it costs $59.84. now lets plug in the savings. if gas drops 50 cents by this summer -- it will cost a little less at 51.84 to fill the same suv subtract the difference that's 8 dollars per tank that you're saving -- and if you drive a lot -- it can add up. please! i will be able to take trips and maybe i'll be able to see movie too. i don't believe that, i would say maybe 50 cents higher or more experts say a stronger dollar and boosted production at gas refineries is making the barrel of oil fall. in fact this week we had the largest weekly drop in oil in two and a half years. even though 50 cents will be a relief -- it still leaves gas prices well above 3 dollars a gallon. so it'll still cost you a lot to fill this suv -- but put at least a few bucks back in your pocket.
