Recently, gas prices have soared across the capital region. When the average gas price rose from $3.60 a gallon to $4.40 a gallon, the region observed a slight decrease in consumption of gasoline from 600 million gallons per year to 590 million gallons per year. Based on this information, what would you estimate that the price elasticity of demand is for gasoline in the Capital region? (The answer could be negative or positive and is not necessarily a whole number).
