>> welcome back, everyone. higher gas prices are forcing some people to spend memorial day closer to home. but even a simple backyard cookout is costing us more this holiday weekend. 29% more, to be exact. just about every staple of a

memorial day meal costs more than it did last year. the u.s. bureau of labor and statistics said ground beef up 12%, sausage 6%. tomatoes will cost 86% more. some people say they have noticed the price increase and they say it has changed their shopping habits. >> definitely if you are -- like meets and veggies, up in the local market. >> even a modest barbeque for a dozen people or so costs about $45 more than compared to last year. if you plan to drive this weekend, gas prices are on the decline. the average price for a gallon of regular gas in california is $4.05. in san francisco, $4.16. however, according to triple a, the price for a gallon of gas is still about a dollar more than compared to this time last year. comparison shopping for a new car is about to get easier.

the epa has unveiled redesigned fuel economy labels that will be displayed on all new cars. both labels simplify the financial and environmental impacts for drivers. here's transportation reporter heather with the details. >> soaring gasoline prices provide the perfect backdrop for a first look at new federal fuel economy and environmental impact labels. >> we need to show the american consumers how they can save money. this label does that. >> current california labels show only fuel economy and an environmental rating for the car they are on. now labels will compare the car against an average new vehicle. it also helps simplify comparisons across the many different classes. gas hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric. so, for instance, this gas guzzler label at an average of 11 miles an hour shows you would spend $14,400 more in fuel over

five years than with an average new vehicle. while the all-electric new label at 99 miles an hour equivalent shows a fuel saves of $9,600. the figures are based on national averages but are extremely useful for comparison's sake. >> it took a lot of discussion. people thought we should have a grade. wouldn't it be great if you knew a through f. but what we came out with i think is a common sense approach that moves us in the right direction towards more efficiency. >> palo alto based tesla motors prefers a letter grade. it sold 1600 of it's $100,000 roadsters but it's hoping to tap a larger market next year with the model s design at half the price. >> we would love to get an a. we did like the other label. who wouldn't want to get an a. but we believe the comparative

consumption metric that's being introduced here is going to be very useful. >> the labels will be required on 2013 models hitting show rooms next year or voluntarily before then. abc7 news. well, the rain just will not go away. >> for a couple days it will. >> okay. >> pretty good out there now. sun coming up in about 20 minutes or less. so we are looking at some nice conditions although the winds will be picking up today. it will feel cool. we do have some more unsettled weather headed our way. your forecast including the first part of june coming up next. >> thank you, lisa. also coming up, the exploding population of wild horses throughout the west. what's likely to happen if they continue

>> welcome back, everyone. it's 5:36. this is a live look from our emeryville hd camera, showing you just a beautiful shot there. things look nice and calm. this is the last sunday of may. thank you for waking up and spending part of it with us. >> my friend, lisa, our meteorologist is here now to talk more about the weather u say we are going to get a bit of a respite from the rain, but it's unusual, isn't it, that it's been holding on this long? >> well, not so much. we do see some rain in may. but looking back, most memorial

days are cool. they really are. last year was cool and we would like to think it's warmer than it is. >> okay, all right. >> we will see a nice day with sunshine and wind. look outside it's partly cloudy. the winds are gusty in parts of the bay but wait until later. we will have the winds out of the northwest sometimes over 30 miles an hour. so this camera showing that, yes, things are nice and quiet now. temperatures with the clear sky overnight really cool. lower 40s in napa. so our north bay valley really feeling the effects of the clear skies. 47 livermore, 50 san jose. the coast 50. 49 redwood city and san francisco coming in at 48 this morning. partly cloudy skies. we will see a mostly sunny day today and windy conditions. the clouds will be returning in advance of a next weather system that will be headed our way. this last day of may. then perhaps some rain tuesday into the first day of june. so as we look at our temperature

profile today, notice once again 50s and 60s for the most part overtaking the pay with the stronger west to northwest winds. even the central valley just in the 70s today. and the reason being, you know, we had that area of low pressure, that cold front that moved on through yesterday. so the pressure gradient tight as low pressure heads to our east. a ridge of high pressure builds into the eastern pacific and that's bringing us the dry northwestly winds today. so we will feel the effects of that. especially along the coast to the coastal gaps and the water this afternoon. the breeziest conditions. low to mid-to upper 40s in the mountains. a few snow showers left over. but all the advisories have been lifted. upper 70s in palm springs. feeling cool in the desert today. 69 in vegas with the coast in the mid-60s. back home we will be look at the mid-upper 60s, perhaps, the 70 degrees. and 69 in campbell. windy condition from half moon

bay to pacifica with san mateo coming in at 65 today. 67 mountain view. shy of probably 5 could 7 degrees where we should be this time of year. 63 downtown. partly cloudy. 58 in the sunset. plenty of sunshine there. if you are headed out on your bike today you will notice the very windy conditions. 68. 65 berkeley. 67 union city. plans today, outdoor activities today and tomorrow, you should be fine. temperatures will even warm a little more tomorrow. today the warming offset by the windy conditions. dublin to 68 with 60 in monterey and the rain out of the picture today. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. memorial day holiday looks nice. we will see sunshine around the bay with some increasing clouds in the north bay. our next system wants to move in midday on tuesday into wednesday. that will give us the chance of showers and then a little bit warmer by the end of next week. no big heat waves.

>> all right. thank you, lisa. the population of wild horses is exploding. their history traces back to the spanish explorers who first settled the west. the country's largest heard roams some 800 acres north of reno. the government said their numbers need to be controlled. but as dan ashley reports in this morning's assignment 7 report, others are fight to go allow them to roam free. >> this government helicopter is rounding up wild horses near reno. across the country 10,000 animals a year are chased into pension by the bureau of land management, who shot this video. the bureau estimates there are 433,000 burrows, mules and horses roaming in nevada. the government says if they don't round up the horses, the

population would explode, doubling every four years. these horses are are taken about an hour and a half west of reno. >> the we've was build on these horses back. >> denise is with the american wild horse preservation campaign. she believes the horses are miss treated, mishandled and rounded up so the bureau can lease more land to cattle ranchers. >> what we have is competition between the livestock industry and other commercial interests. >> he says it's not about the land but keeping the animals from starving and destroys the habitat of other species. >> we work to maintain sustainable, thriving populations but we have to control the population so they don't overuse the resources. water is limited and so is forage. >> a recent independent review by the interior department found the roundups ares in and justified to maintain the natural ecological balance of the land.

city twin peaks corral in litchfield the horse are cared for in large pens. government officials estimate the death right here is 6%. but left in the wild it can go as high as 20%. we bring them in and give them their first round of innoculations, all their different vaccines and then we place them into pens. >> the bureau admits there are risks associated with rounding up horses and putting them into pens. forks, in 2010 they rounded up 1900 horses in the cal comountains in nevada. at least 115 died or were euthanized and at least 40 pregnant harris. mares lost their colts. and this video upload today u report was shot by animal activists at a facility in utah last month. there they found horses in a mix of mud and feces so deep that it prevented the animals from lying down and made it difficult for them to stand up.

the bureau of land management maintains the horses were not abused but did move more than one hundred from the facility after the video was made public. sandy janssen grew up in the area. she doesn't want to see the horses go but believes the population needs to be controlled. >> i believe in maintaining a herd, not letting it overrun the place because then they start look really thin and they don't have enough water or feed. >> she came to the corral to adopt one of the horses. it will be her second. napa ranch owners nancy and mike kersin are advocates of adoption. they have three wild horse and two burrows. they offer advice to potential owners on how to care for the animals. >> you can adopt them for $125 remember people do that and figure $125 horse, i can train this horse. people need to get the help they need to be able to succeed. >> while adoptions may be part of the answer to controlling the wild horse population, only 30% will be taken home.

some may be released to the wild after they are given birth control. the rest will be shipped to other facilities around the country. dan ashley, abc7 news. and the wild horse advocates won a victory recently when a federal judge allowed a case to move forward that could make the roundups illegal. don't go away. 7 on your side is next. >> do banks have an incentive to save your home from

>> homeowners facing foreclosure are holding out hopes of getting their loan modified. new statistics show foreclosures are down almost 30% from last year in california but still amount for a quarter of all sales. getting your loan modified is no easy task. here's 7 on your side michael finney to explain why. >> we first met gary robinson when he applied for a home loan modification two years ago. the antioch father of two is still wait to go get one. >> it adds a lot of stress. you don't know where you are going to end up, you don't know whether to plan to move. >> lillian of oakland also applied for a modification two years ago, and like gary, the stress is taking its follow. >> this is the burden that i carry everyday on my back. everyday, everyday, all the paperwork they send me.

>> the more time passes for both of them, the more they get into debt. gary's mortgage went from 690,000 two years ago to $800,000 today. lillian's figures shot up from $562,000 to $620,000. catrina is senior housing counselor with the community housing development corporation. >> the longer it takes for them to review your file and come up with the decision, the more arearages you are incurring. >> a recent study from a nonprofit national consumer le centre concluded that loan servicers had little incentives to work out modifications. >> with a modification all the staffing costs, all of the costs, time and effort that goes into modifying a lone does not get reimbursed and the servicers have to bear that cost. >> she also said the fees can add up quickly. lynette has been working for a modification for nearly 2 years.

>> it bothers me on so many levels that the banks make it on the way up, on the way down. they get covered in every which way. >> she's paying foreclosure fees, the attorneys fees. she's paying property inspection fees. >> the legal fees alone will cost her almost $2,000. but the mortgage bankers association says in many cases those fees are justified. >> attorneys fees, recording fees, collection fees. those are third party charges that have to directly offset the costs associated with them. >> in 2008 a federal lawsuit accused country wide home loans of chanling business toss its sub cidaris through the foreclosure process and marking up the price of the services, often by 100% or more. the case settled for $108 million. the le centre study found the more people up, the more servicers get paid. >> services have this large

incentive to keep loans in the pool, to not foreclose them so they keep getting the money and also to keep the balances high. >> a trade organization of many mortgage servicers say that's not true. >> servicers are paid to service performing loans. when a lone is not performing, in other words, when a person is delinquent, they are not paid. at the end of the day there is absolutely no economic argument to say it's in a servicer's or bank's best interest financially in any way, shape or form to have a buyer go to default. >> lillian is facing a foreclosure sale date of june 18th. she wants to continue to raise her children there. >> when i got divorced, it was important for me to raise my kids under one roof. >> gary has reapplied for a modification four different times and now wonders if it's been worth it. >> when you sit down and add all the fees that you accrue, you come to think was it a good

thing? >> but ultimately he hopes to get the news lynette got. she received a permanent modification last month. >> i feel like i'm one of the lucky ones. i feel like i was able to gather all my friends and my neighbors and my work companions to help me fight, and i didn't stop. >> both trade organizations we talked with say more than 4 million loan modify takingings have been granted since 2007. realty track tells us there's been 5 million foreclosures during that same period. i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. up next "on the isle" a sequel to a runaway hit comedy. the hangover, part 2. don sanchez finds out whether
