$8.00 a gallon? I thought, yeah right when I read that.
But looking into it I did read that IF the rise of gas continues at the way it's been going this past year it COULD be up to $7.00-$8.00 a gallon by next Easter 2009.
There is no relief in sight since the fuel comes mostly from places that simply doesn't like us anymore. They can set the price and we have to pay it.
One would think that people would be in a panic to get rid of their larger SUV's, Vans etc.. but according to one article that has so far not really happened. People need to get their families around and so far they love their vehicles. They intend to cut costs elsewhere and not drive as much but simply not thinking in terms of going smaller.
That seems strange. I am wondering if we shouldn't try to get into a smaller car even though I totally love our 2007 van. What good is it if it sits in the driveway and you can't afford to drive it.
