OMG! What is going on? Gas prices are going up and they continue to do so with almost every day that goes by. Two weeks ago, I was on my way to school and stopped to fill up my car, and I realized that the gas prices went up. I was shocked and mad. I mean, I knew that it would happen since the news has been predicting it since a couple months ago that the prices were going up for the summer. Then a week later, again I was headed to school and soon I found out the gas price was $3.59. I just wanted to cry. Mind you, that where I get my gas, they always have cheaper gases than other gas stations, so imagine what the others were. Then 2 days after, which was today, I went to fill my car and the price changed again… it was $3.73. It was just 2 days ago!!! What is going on here? When I got home, I opened the TV and the news was on and my luck, they were talking about gas prices going up 20 cents in the next few days. I truly can not believe what is happening.

Pretty soon, are people going to be driving at all? It is not worth it to drive if most of our paychecks are going to be going to buying gas. There are people that can afford that but most of Americans are middle class and do not have the money for these gas prices that are being raised. What about college students. A lot of students drive to school and they work part time jobs. What is left to be done first? Help pay for their tuition, the basic needs, pocket change or gas for their car. I would fill my car for $45 dollar a month ago and now it takes more and there is not stop. Will gas prices ever go down? Probably not! I feel helpless in this situation as many others do too because we can not do anything to stop it. People can not afford to boycott not driving because they need to get places. And to think, in a few months, I am buying a new MDX which is an SUV and bigger tank. OMG!  That is when I will be losing my mind when I see the prices go up.
