And you thought your commute was bad.

Ian Bearce travels from his home in Minneapolis to his New York-based job every week to the tune of about $13,000 a year.

Will he get a financial break because of lower oil and gas prices across the country?

That question was on correspondent Manuel Bojorquez's mind when he came to Minnesota to talk to Bearce for a piece that's expected to air Monday on the "CBS Evening News With Scott Pelley."

It's part of a multi-part series on how lower prices are affecting the economy.

The "CBS Evening News" airs locally at 5:30 p.m. on WCCO, Ch. 4.
