Michelle Wright: Gas prices continue to hit all of us in the pocket book, and according to the Auto 1 Club of Southern California's spokesman Paul Gonzales, those rising prices don't mean the country is running low on gas.

Paul Gonzales: Essentially 2 we have enough gas, we have enough oil to meet the nation's demands, and in the next month we'll probably see even more gasoline coming into, into the nation's supply.

Michelle Wright: Gonzales says while there is a greater demand for gas now, it doesn't merit the price hikes we've been seeing. And those ever-climbing fuel prices mean you’ll likely be spending more to eat, says Moody 3.com's chief economist 4 Mark Zandy.

Mark Zandy: A big part of food prices, er, er, is the cost of transporting that food from farms and wholesale 5 distribution centers to, to the grocery store.

Michelle Wright: Zandy also says we'll be making more changes when it comes to travel plans and retail 6 sales.

Michelle Wright: A new survey reveals that nearly 50% of all Internet users go online for help with major life decisions.

John Horrigan: People're using the Internet when they need to make decisions about health care matters, when they are making career switches, and a variety of other decisions relating to buying a car or making a major financial decision.

Michelle Wright: John Horrigan is the associate director for research with Pew Internet.

Michelle Wright: And a new survey from bankrate.com reveals that we are paying more money than we used to, to our banks.

Bob Witkin: It's estimated we will be paying more than four billion dollars this year in ATM service charges. Consumers who bounce checks are also facing higher fees.

Winsky: You get free checking, but it's not really free, because the bank tricks you into overdrawing 7 your account and then charges you all kinds of bounce check fees which are almost like payday loans.

Bob Witkin: Winsky says banks aren’t cashing checks in the order received meaning more not fewer bounce. And he says there’s a conscious effort to fool consumers when banks advertise free checking. Bob Witkin, CNN.

Michelle Wright: With CNN Radio Marketplace, I'm Michelle Wright.
