$4 A Gallon Gas
Well it finally got here and it didn’t take it long. The national average for gas prices has now reached an all time high of 4 dollars a gallon. It was just a few years back when you could get a gallon of gas for under 2 dollars. So now the skyrocketing prices have climbed more than 100% and it still might not be done going up. We may find ourselves paying 4 dollars a gallon come this fall when prices are suppose to drop and it’s not going to surprise too many people to see gas prices go to $4.50 a gallon this summer.
The main thing Americans can do to battle these high costs is to drive less. The prices at the pump continue to soar and we have cut out other things in our life, but we haven’t stopped driving less. If you want gas prices to go down, then you must plan your trips more wisely and cut down the times you are filling up. It’s gonna take commitment from everyone to get these high prices back down to a reasonable rate. As long as we keep driving our normal amounts each week, the gas companies are just going to continue to raise the price of gasoline. We don’t have to worry about the 5 dollar mark this year, but in 2009 the price is expected to go over 5. So why we’re complaining now, gas prices are 1 dollar cheaper than what most of us will be paying for it next summer.
