Clark was elected to serve as a Democratic Councilwoman at-large in 1980. She served as Chair of the Education Committee and also as Chair of the Public Property and Public Works Committee before retiring in 2000. Augusta Clark was 81 years old.

Analysts expect prices to continue falling into the winter because demand is flat and refineries are producing a cheaper winter blend of gasoline.
