I read an article about the rise of gas prices and the effects its having on commuters. Motorist fear that gas might go up to 4 dollars a gallon, which put a halt on any vacation plans people might have. This problem was due to the hurricane that hit New Orleans a couple years back. The U.S. is lacking of resource to produce oil and it's creating a great impact on our fellow Americans. Gasoline is now at a national average of $2.87 per gallon, about 33% higher than 11 weeks ago.
In my opinion, it is rediculous how high the gas prices are increasing. This problem will impact people who commute at a daily basis. For example, sudents that drive to school and on a budget can't afford high price gas. The only way students can save gas if they carpool, bus, or buy a hyrbid car. But all those alternates are not accessible for all the students. If the prices continues to increase I might have to start riding my bike to school, it's about 15 miles away.
