Inevitable Truth

If you haven’t noticed, gas prices are on the rise and there is no slowing them down. It seems like every time you go fill up, you can add a few more bucks to your balance. Ultimately, we as consumers have to pay the price for all the political problems and other issues that affect theincrease.

We all hate it, but the truth is we have absolutely no control over it and there is nothing we can do to change it. Gas is a necessity and will always be in demand, unless they come up with some universal and available alternatives. The sad thing is that many people have to choose between food and other necessities to driving to work. I really feel bad for those who have along commute to work everyday, it’s ridiculous when they are spending half or more of their paycheck on the darn gas to get them to work. Where is the profit margin here?

Many families are struggling right now with the high gas prices and something needs to be changed, but in reality it doesn’t look like the outlook is good. There are many alternatives to gas, but they just aren’t readily available, affordable and on the market. As if the economy isn’t already bad enough right now, they have to bury us even deeper in the hole with gas prices.
Even though we complain about gas, we don’t really seem to be doing anything to fix it. If Americans weren’t so spoiled by all of us having our own cars, so we can go wherever, whenever at our own convenience, we could actually take some steps in keeping gas costs down. Most of us think we are too good to take the bus to work or are too independent to arrange a carpool. Yeah, we may not have the best public transportation system compared to Europe and other countries, but we do have something and if you actually make the effort to use it, it will probably workout. There is always the good ol’ man powered automobile, the bike, which would be good for everyone, their health, the environment, and your wallet Also, arrange your schedules to be most gas efficient, do things like your grocery shopping on your way home from work, not take a separate trip. We all just need to face the fact gas is out of control and try to do the best we can in these hard times.
