In the final segment, Devin spoke with Autoline Daily's John McElroy at the Detroit auto show at Cobo. McElroy talked about the progress that the auto show has made and how positive this year's event has been for the city of Detroit.
Devin also asked McElroy about how lower gas prices affect profits for automakers. McElroy said some fuel experts expect prices to climb to $3 before the end of the year, while others think today's lower prices will last longer than that.
