For a lot of people around where im from in east tennesse, moving do not have an option to use public transportation or move closer to work and move closer to town. i work at a circuit city where a year ago people would drive 75 or more miles just to come in and shop and buy movies cause it was the closest store to them. customers would come in from north carolina, virginia, and kentucky plus come from rural areas in tennessee. now since gas has gone to 4 bucks our customer flow has slowed tremendosly and those customers coming in from all over very rarley come in any more.
what are people going to do when gas gets to expensive to drive to work . and you cant say use public transportation cause not everyone has access to public transportation. most of the people i work with live 15-40 miles away. they dont drive that far for the pay cause the pay sucks its because there are no jobs availabe where they live. walking isnt much of an option either for these people or the people who live close to work cause of lack of sidewalks and any place to walk without getting run over.

since our socety runs on gas how is society going to function when no one can afford to drive to work or afford to drive to places to buy anything. i say this will cause a lot of companys go under within 2 yrs if gas raises to much

I wish it was back down to those prices. Here I started to work so I can keep my house, and here if gas prices go up much more I won't be able to afford to go to work and make house payments let alone all the other bills and food costs added.

Im sorry but hearing all you Americans crying about the price of GAS makes me laugh,try living in the UK where the price of a Gallon is about $10


oh..UK the island where everything needs to be imported? and you mean how its so expensive in europe where most of the money goes back to the people when they get a year off for having a baby and "free" daycare servies at work and national health care services...nothing is free.

NOpe...the only way for the prices too go down is if we riot about the situation or stop spending for at least a day or two too get the attention of these PIGS!!!!

The governments of the world need to step in and take control of the situation. I think speculation is driving the price with even the big banks buying futures to cover their ascots, and in todays volatile world, even rumors of some unrest or impending hurricane can be sure to make those futures pay off, especially if a rumor is started on the very same day the futures become good. If the government really wanted to bring the price of oil down, they would stop allowing futures to be the driving force behind oil. But there are too many people making obscene profits off of it for this to ever happen.

I Live in scottsdale AZ and gas prices are outrageous! I pay $4.22 or higher a gallon and i can barely afford to go anywhere anymore.Even then its way too hot to go out.

Shoot im down in Texas right now its up to 3.97 a gallon. I just think we need to drill in Alaska instead of relying on the arabs for gas... they the reason its high they demanding too much for it but we keep payin... START DRILLING!!!!
