Over the past few months, gas prices have been growing, and no one is paying attention to them anymore. The people are so focused on other issues such as the immigration issue. People should be going to the whitehouse protesting the increasing gas prices! By the end of the summer, the gas will probably be as much as $4.00 a gallon for regular unleaded. This may not affect the upper class, but it has had an enormous impact on the middle and lower class. My father is a truck driver, so we make all our income from that. If diesel prices keep going up, and they pay stays the same, overall profit is lower. Soon, he won't be able to pay for the repairs, permits, and insurance for his small business.

I have to fill my car up with my own money and if gas prices keep going up I won't be able to aford my insurance. I am trying to save for college and a new car but I can't seem to save anything.
I definitely agree. I'm about to start using my moped full time if things continue to stay this way.
I totally agree on the public perception of the gas prices, people are so lazy that they only want to talk about gas prices when it's trendy in the news (like immigration is right now). My dad owns a trucking business too! We're in nj, are you around here?

I am in New Mexico. Even with all of the oil rigs here, gas is $3.05 a gallon. The diesel is about 3 bucks! When I say all the oil rigs, I mean when I drive twenty miles out of my small town, I see at least 15 rigs.
Okay, Kuwaiti crude is down to $62. In New York, our own is at $72 and steady. Bush said he was going to "fix it," but the protracted diligence by the rigs and the "we won't save in strategic reserves this summer" plan have only alleviated the problem by a dollar. I live in Northern California, not abominably far from Canada, you understand, and also Mexico. The cheapest gasoline here is $3.25.
