Gas has been relatively expensive for quite some time now, but when I went to the pump, gas was USD 4.59 for the 89 proof that I put in my car. Are you serious? It cost me over USD 60 to fill up my tank. The point is this, I've got a good job, I make a decent salary, I'm single, no pets, no car payment. All I really have to pay is rent and food/drink/entertainment. But the price of gas now has me thinking about how to save money here and there. It's something that I could be doing anyway, but I'm not buying some cheaper vegetable packages for food, I'm cooking in a lot more, I'm tipping more carefully whereas before it was 20% by default... I'm still going to do the things I like to do, but I'm going to consider changing some things in the other areas of my life.
I'm just wondering how the lower income families are dealing with this, especially with our lackluster public transit. Now the question remains: Is this a bubble? No tree grows to the sky, but there are some tall trees out there.

Nate,
Still think failing to build nuclear energy plants(to allow coal,oil,and natural gas to be used elsewhere in the U.S.economy),obstruction of refinery building,obstruction of the use of continental,and coastal lands for oil and nat-gas production,and limitations on coal production and use over the last 30+ years was a wise national plan?Even now national lands are off limits for most energy production.Dumb,dumb,dumb.
