Wow, thats one word to describe gas prices. By this summer gas is supposed to be over $4 a gallon. The price of gas is getting to be ridiculous. Last year gas was $2 and some cents a gallon and in a year it's gone up over a dollar and it continues to rise. People can't afford this. Just because gas goes up doesn't mean the amount of money we make at work does. The price of gas is one of the reasons people can't afford a lot of things. Eventually no one is gonna be able to afford gas, there for no one is gonna be able to go back and forth to work. Yeah there coming out with electric cars an water powered cars but who can afford to buy one of them? Minimum wage is only $7.35 in the state of pennsylvania, that will only buy about 2 gallons of gas. Your basically working to put gas in the car. After you fill up your tank you have no money left for food or bills. How is anyone supposed to make it? People wonder why our economy is becoming poor, well maybe if we didnt have to pay $4 for a gallon of gas we would have money for housing. To fill a tank of a dodge neon sport cost close to $30, and thats a small sized car. someone please explain to me how anyone is supposed to be able to live on minimum wage when u have to pay $4 a gallon for gas!!!
