I am very concerned for what is going to happen if the gas prices continue to rise. Right now our economy is in what some would call a recession and with gas prices getting higher people are less likely to drive places, which in turn hurts business, which then hurts our economy even more. If we are going to get out of the recession then the gas prices have to come back down. I am already to the point where I don't want to drive to school but now with the current gas prices it costs me an arm and a leg to get to and from anywhere. Why are the oil companies able to get away with charging the consumers so much money? We are so concerned about how the economy is doing so poorly, and yet gas continues to get worse. What about the truck drivers? They transport a lot of our goods and it costs them more money than anyone. If they stop driving the trucks then store stop getting goods to sell. If consumers stop driving for fun, then stores don't have customers and business goes down. The oil companies need to realize that they are hurting the economy in a very drastic way and find a solution to get the gas prices back down to a reasonable level.

Recently gas prices have been climbing and climbing. The national average is slowly approaching four dollars. Right now the average gallon of gas in California is $3.72, which is terrible but where I live gas prices are already well over that. The last time I filled up my tank it was $3.95 cents a gallon! This is insane, my gas bill for my fill up was off the wall.

I know, I know! I took photos of the gas pump the last time I filled up. Couldn't believe how much it cost to fill up my Golf: almost $52! And that was a week or so ago.
