Will Gas Prices Get Higher?
Photo by Soctech
I remember as a kid jumping into back seat of our Pontiac station wagon. We were headed out west camping.Summer Vacation! We fished in Yellowstone and visited relatives in Montana.
We filled up for about 31.9 cents a gallon.We had a 15 gallon tank. You do the math.
Today families are excited for Memorial Day weekend and summer. Gas is at $2.25 a gallon. My guess is that most people will stay home and make smores in their back yard.
What do you think? Will your driving habits change?
Do you drive a hybrid car?
What will vacations be like this summer?
What do you think?

Are You Sick Of High Gas Prices?
Runningbandit says:
Obviously we are all sick of higher gas prices. The Big 3 in Detroit are getting hit because of it. Ford, Dodge & GM can't even give away their trucks or SUV's, because of this. Smaller more fuel efficient cars are going like crazy, that's why Honda, Toyota and Nissan are doing so well. Enough about my rant though, maybe you could check out mine: http://www.squidoo.com/gascashcredit.
