Gas does not seem to be lowering

Everday gas pricing and rising more and more each day and is affecting many people hard. Some people are no longer able to afford gas prices and now have to find other ways to conserve money to find transportation. Many people have tried to implement these " no gas days" which ultimately do not work because someone is still going to be gas daily. Also major companies such as Airlines and Bus transportation need gas on a daily basis to transport people to where they need to go. But are they going to come down anytime soon? Many have reported that they are only going to get higher and may not come down for a while or until they find a new way that might solve the gas solution.

The majority of people who can not afford the high gas prices could be considered middle class and lower class people. Most of these people have to travel far distances just to go to important places like work, daycare (for their children), and the doctors office. Gas prices will especially affect the elderly people who can not walk long distances or who do not have the energy to wait most of the day on a bus. Gas does not seem like it will not be going down any time soon. Lately, I have noticed that gas prices will raise an extra dollar, then after about a month or so it will go down around 20 to 30 cents, and then go back up an extra dollar and some change.

That is no joke. I just a few months ago (if even) gas prices we're ranging from the $2.60 range to the $2.90 range and now, gas prices range from around $3.50. I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches $4.00 by the summer. What I'd like to know is why the great increase.

I agree, I wish the gas prices would lower. Unfortunately, Im not counting on it.
Today in class we talked about sugar ethanol, which seems to be a success in South America.
