I think I'm not the only one who feels that gas prices have become RIDICULOUS. Lately, it has become an issue that many talk about. It can also be an issue if you already have enough money going to school loans or bills. {raising my hand, ME!} Souwan and I started car pooling to work. It saves us money to be a one car family. Poor Souwan has to sacrifice sleeping in later and getting off early. Too bad we can not lock ourselves in the house and not spend gas commuting. Can we go back to carriages and horses? They are earth friendly, fun, and NO GAS price! I know it's a dream. It would probably take me a month to get to work.

I found an article about why gas prices has gone up. To sum it up the article reads, gas station owners price gas based on what it costs to replace it. Gas stations also adujst their prices to keep up with costs of their shipments. Other factors of gas prices is the refinery problems, value of the dollar, extreme weather, or Chinese demands.

Well guys, it does not look good. Ideas? Comments?
