Is this the #1 news story for the rest of time?

Every day we have to be told the price of gas.Gas is never going to go down in price ever.We might as well get use to it.This is becoming almost as annoying as the oj simpson story.Remember how they barraged us with that on an hourly basis?What purpose,if any does it serve to keep on reminding people the price of gas on a daily basis?I'm numb.
