US Energy Sec says wife bargain hunts for gasoline
Too funny
PORT ARTHUR, Texas (Reuters) - The wife of U.S. Energy Secretary Sam Bodman is out hunting for cheap gasoline.

Stung by a spike at the pumps in recent weeks, many U.S. motorists are searching for the best deal. Bodman has called high gasoline costs a "crisis" for Americans.
When asked by a reporter if he shops around for cheap fuel, Bodman said: "I know my wife does."
Bodman, who previously served as the CEO of Fidelity Investments and Cabot Corporation, said that he personally does not scour service stations looking for bargains because the U.S.
Secret Service buys his fuel.
Gasoline prices have risen to more than $2.90 a gallon (3.8 litres) on average nationwide, just below the record $3.07 struck after Hurricane Katrina, according to the
Department of Energy.
