What a nightmare.
Gas prices are way too high.
Between the costs of food, electricity and gas, I’m about to start screaming.
It’s going down slowly but to me it’s still not affordable.
I am so happy that Bush is almost out of office, because something really needs to be done and changed.

The gas where I live is $4.15 and that’s too much, so I can’t imagine living in Illinois or even alaska, where gas is $8. That’s ridiculous.
How can you afford gas when it’s that much.
Folks are gonna have to start taking out their bikes and walking.

I’m gonna stop driving my SUV. It’s costs $80 to fill up my truck and that’s at $4.00 a gallon. This has got to change soon. I’m thinking about trading in my car.
