In Economics there are things called elastic and inelastic. Gas falls in to the inelastic section. This means that when things happen in the field of gas things stays the same. This does not mean that things will not change in this field just it will take a lot more to effect this field. Looking at gas, we can see this taking place. Gas has increased in price but people keep buying gas. Gas is a necessary thing in our lives. We need it to get to work. Either in our cars, bus, or planes. We need it to mow our yard. We use it a lot and we have become depended on it. Sure people have started to car pool and cut back on their events. We are still using a high amount of gas even after the gas prices has increased. And it is not like we can just stop using it. Gas is so much part of our lives. And if we did some how major cut back on gas in America then other countries like India and China would use the gas that we would not be using and that would not effect the gas market much. So what hope is there for us that spend out our hard cash to get that gas? We cannot have the government increase the wages to people because that would cause the prices to increase to cover the increase in wages. Neither can we really cut back on our use of gas. The answer is to come up with ways that let us keep up our current economic place and cuts back on the gas. That means getting a car that gets more miles per gallon. There are many different ways that we can work on this problem.
