Though cities are guzzling less gasoline, one Manhattan business owner says it can be a good thing.
Manhattan gas stations sell anywhere from 800 to 1,600 gallons of gasoline each per day.
Some say that's a 30 percent decrease in gas sales from last year.
The price might be high for some, but one Manhattan businessman says the lessons learned are priceless.
