Gas prices could soar by Memorial Day

January 24, 2012

ATLANTA -- The price of regular unleaded gasoline in Atlanta could reach as high as $4.60 per gallon by Memorial Day, according to GasBuddy.com.

The site predicts costs in the coming months in 250 locations across the U.S. and Canada.

But Wes Moss, Chief Investment Strategist at Capitol Investment Advisors, told 11Alive News that he expects "demand destruction" will keep prices from going too high.

"Oil prices and gasoline prices have what's called demand destruction," Moss said. "You get above $4 per gallon of gas, and people figure out how to use less. So, there's almost a self-correcting mechanism when it comes to oil and gasoline."

"If we go above $4 for gas, demand goes down and prices follow," he added. "Unfortunately, it will probably be because the economy has slowed down

Moss said he wouldn't be surprised by a more moderate price hike.

Committee Failure Could Affect Payroll Tax

November 23, 2011

ATLANTA - The failure of the Congressional debt-reduction super committee could affect millions of paychecks next year.

The payroll tax cut was one of the issues left undecided by latest deadlock in Washington.

President Barack Obama was in New Hampshire Tuesday, calling for Congress to extend and expand payroll tax cuts.

Without action, the 2 percent payroll tax cut expires in December. Last year, it provided an average tax break of $934 for 121 million families at a cost to the government of $120 billion.

Wes Moss, a certified financial planner with Capital Investment Advisors in Atlanta, says the impact of higher payroll taxes would be felt throughout the economy, with lower spending and sales likely leading to fewer jobs and other problems.

Christian was one of a myriad of drivers lined up at a Kroger on Cobb Parkway in Acworth. The posted price of $3.15 is 15 cents below the AAA city average. The Kroger price was matched by two nearby QuikTrips and even a locally owned Sunoco station.

"A person that comes in once, they like how you treat them. They like the prices, and then they just keep coming," said Sunoco station manager Matt Enriquez.
