Who's Got Gas?

As I left Oxford last Friday to go to Auburn, I noticed as I filled up my car that gas was currently priced at $3.59 a gallon and on my return to Oxford on Sunday, I noticed that the price of gas had skyrocketed to $3.68 a gallon. At this rate, it will be up to $4.oo a gallon by May and who knows by June it could be up to as much as $5.00, a price many people will not be able to afford. The rising gas prices are beginning to cause great problems for commuters and people who make their living off driving people where they need to go like taxi drivers and car services. And because of these rising gas prices, the price of many things will begin to rise, because let's face it, every single thing in this economy depends on having gasoline to transport any product or item. For now we can only wait and see what will happen, but I have a feeling that I will be walking or riding my bike everywhere from now on.
