I'm glad that nobody brought up the reason for higher gas prices was because people are driving more and the number of gas guzzling vehicles on the road etc. etc. That is only partially true. It still doesn't explain why gas prices skyrocketed after hurricane Katrina and then never came back down. Did people all of a sudden buy bigger vehicles and drive more after Katrina?? What a load. We are all taking it up the u-know-what. They say to drive less, carpool etc. which I have been doing. I carpool to work with my 4-cyl. car and my 8-cyl. truck sits in the driveway. What about when I mow the lawn, or cut hay? Do they want me to tractor pool?! No matter what you do, the gas prices still hurt. A question I also have is, how many people are running up their credit card debt by just swiping the card to pay for gas? I would bet that a lot of people will be getting into trouble with credit card debt simply because of gas. Should be interesting to see what happens...
