According to a surveyed 20,000, the people were asked:

 

Do you think gas prices in your area will reach $5 by year’s end?

 

53% said YES

35% said NO

12% said I DON’T KNOW

 

*As of Monday, the national average for gas was $3.61

 

As if the prices for gas weren’t high enough, it has been speculated that by summer‘s end, gas prices within your area will raise to an all time high of $5.00! What in the hell?! Adding fuel to the fire, or more hardship to the already demanding financial situations within many homes, the rate at which gas prices are raising has really forced the idea of downgrading to biking.

 

However, with the prices rising, the demand for gas has seemingly lowered. I mean…one minute we’re forced to worry about job security and next we’re forced to worry about how to get to that job without spending almost $100 for half a tank of gas. What in the hell?!

 

 

I can only help but wonder…are we headed toward regression?

 

It is believed that the government has made the decision of raising gas prices in hopes of erasing any financial debts that the United States may have.

 

I say…YEAH RIGHT!

 

But hey…let’s look at the bright side…although $5.00 seems a bit rigid, it beats the hell out of gas prices in Sierra Leone for $18.42 per gallon!
