Ridiculous Rates


In today’s society there are several things in which I think should be changed for the better good of entire world. The most severe problem that affects just about everyone today is the ridiculous rates or prices for a gallon of gas. Gas prices affect a lot of people budgets, and even daily lives. For example families have to limit their vacations or activities they can do because of the cost. People without jobs, such as college students, have a difficult time finding money for gas go home and visit their family. There has to be something they can do about this financial problem. What most people don’t realize is that when gas prices go up every other item that is transported by freight goes up as well. For example milk has gone up $2.00 a gallon in the past three years, and continues to rise with the prices of gas. They have tried to find cheaper ways top fuel your car, but have not yet came up with a successful plan. People, especially Americans are so reliant on gasoline that we continue to buy gas for these ridiculous prices. If I could I would start a movement of people to set a strike on when to buy gas and that we all limit ourselves to one full tank a week and you can only fill up on Sundays. With this I feel we would become more efficient on our usage and we would send a message to the world showing we are not as dependent as they may think we really are, lowering the prices because of the over abundance that will build up.
