Gas Buddy? HA!

I am certain that all of you are feeling exactly as I. The price that we pay for fuel is above and beyond insane. Sadly, there is nothing that we can do. We cannot boycott petroleum, because it is a necessity in our lives. I simply cannot go into greater detail concerning the subject, because I do not fully understand the reality of this all. I listen to Obama when he speaks, but his reason(s) for the gas price hike is bewildering. When he speaks, he speaks with lack of confidence, and his "um" which happens several times in a statement is troublesome. When he makes speeches, he should make them more confidently, with a touch of reassurance for all of us. Leadership comes with a hefty price. I am certain that the income brought in by the president is so extreme, that he is carefree about filling his tank(s).
Other people who are fortunate enough to receive a company vehicle in their line of work, are also not effected. They simply present the individual pumping their gas with a company credit card, and off they go! Myself, on the other hand? I present this person with my own bank card, with funds from my own paycheck, and nearly cry when I notice that it has cost me several hours of pay to fill my tank, and drive off to go to work! UGH!!! Most people probably have to quit their jobs, because it is much to expensive to get there and home. We are working to pay to get to work! It is a vicious cycle.
Sure we can go out and purchase an economic vehicle, but can we? Who can afford to buy a new car in this economy?
Summer season, probably the only uncontrollable in the socio-polital-financial equation. Memorial day is coming and people drive more during the summer which increases demand so they raise prices.....because they can! No other reason, just they can and they do. Ever notice how maybe they all rise together because they all agree?

In addition, the prices will continue to rise as we approach Summer. Once Memorial day presents itself, we are sitting in an uncontrollable, political equation. People drive more in the Summer, which increases the demand for gas, therefore they can and will raise the prices. Truthfully, there is no reason, it is all quite simple. It is because they can, they just can. If our president ever starts to care about what happens to us (highly unlikely), then drilling into U.S. soil will become real.

I understand that this is not a fuzzy and warm topic. I have chosen to write on behalf of myself and all other working class individuals who want to make a living, and need to provide.

I have attached a link for GasBuddy.com, I hope this helps in assisting you and the state you reside, to find a lower price for gas in your transportation. Good luck my friends!
