Tough luck, you motorist!

Just kidding! I'm actually a bicyclist, so gas prices don't impact me at all. My family utilizes motors and I contribute to gas for them sometimes, normally when we're all going out somewhere. I like to help out (and why not? I'm getting a ride too!). But for personal travel, I hit my mountain bike. One day I'll by a road bike and really pick up some speed. Ha! But riding is really fun. Not so much in the sun, but at least I can appreciate the outdoors and all kinds of weather. (Yes, even the rain.)

It sucks that gas prices can get out of control sometimes. Something so basic and necessary for most civilians living in America shouldn't get pricey.

$4.19 for the cheap stuff here in the city of Chicago and we haven't even hit the summer bump in prices yet.

Yes this whole recession is killing me, thats why I have to do these posts.

You get to post and get money and get to meet some really nice folks so does that make the gas prices any easier to tolerate????? Probably not but just a little maybe!!!!! It is a very sad state of affairs when all the middle class pay for all the services that should be coming from the taxes that we are already paying The rich get richer and the poor get poorer When are we the people going to get a break?????? :sad1:

yes, in hawaii gas is 4.57 a gallon now. I'm guessing it will be $5 by the end of the year. I hope it goes down soon. :crybaby2:

As a student, these gas prices are killing me. I think I'm going to invest in a bike and just drive my car when it's absolutely necessary.

Gas prices are hurting EVERYONE, but let's not act like victims. We've chosen not to get serious about alternatives to fossil fuels, causing us to run through our oil supply faster, which is driving up prices because we've now used up the oil that's cheap & easy to extract!. Since we had other, better choices & decided against them, we should not utter a word of complaint.

i wish i could bike or take some alternative transportation but it's not an option for me and my work, etc.
I just paid nearly $70 to fill up my tank at 3.75/gallon -- and that's the cheap 87 octane gas.
my hubby has to buy the more expensive gas so his really hurts the pocket book

thankfully i do not drive but my husband does have a v8 infiniti so we are starting to feel the higher prices. he used to fill up his tank once a week for about $40 and today he filled it up and it cost $63. luckily, we have also greatly reduced the amount of car trips we take and will soon be moving to a new house which will cut about 5miles off his current 16mile commute to work so that should help out too.

It's $4.23 a gallon here. I would ride a bike to work if it wasn't so far.  Public transportation isn't convenient enough for the hours and location I work

gas prices are ridiculous here. we went and out 10 in the truck today and the needle on the gage didn't even move. it would probably take about 80 to 100 dollars to fill it up. i remember when 10 bucks would fill up my car for 2 weeks, sigh i miss those days. i'm about ready to buy a horse and buggy.
