It's a price that makes you look twice: gas for a mere $1.50
“I'm actually on E right now so I'm going to fill it up until it overflows,” says Amy Spaziano.
The price cut came courtesy of Jack Davis. You may know him better as a millionaire and one of the democrats currently running for congress in the 26th District.
“The policies are just hammering the working class, I'm trying to bring that to the attention,” says Davis who chose the $1.50 price tag for a reason, “that's the price the we were paying when the Bush administration came to town in 2000.”
Davis's campaign is paying for the other $2.73 which equates to a roughly $35,000 price tag from his campaign coffers for Thursday’s rollback promotion.
Whether it will garner Davis any new voters is still up in the air. But Davis didn't seem to worry...he says today was more about proving a point about finding new forms of energy to relieve the chronic pain at the pump.
“Because every time we use a new source of energy we reduce the price of gasoline.”
NY-26 is currently occupied by outgoing Republican Tom Reynolds.
