The gas have now hit $4 dollar and it is just going to climb. Do not expect the politicians to do anything they are not affected of the higher prices since they have paid cars from the government and do not feel the affect of the higher price. You have to do something yourself about your situation.
Change to a smaller car
Share car with car pools
Fine tune the car
Take out extra things in the car
Lower the air con in the car
Sell the if you can
Move closer to work
You need to do something before you will come in a situation where you can not handle it anymore. Do not wait for that to happen it is not going to get better and if Obama takes the troops out of Iraq the oil going to fly to the sky at least for that moment.
