$4.15 a gallon for gasoline??

I can't believe this thread has gone dormant what with the high price of gasoline, the election, the housing market, our global economy ...

I'll just start with $4.15 a gallon for gas ... what the heck!!! We have to trade in our van now because we're spending over $300 a month in gas and all my husband does is go back/forth to work and I grocery shop on Saturdays. It's

.

How bad is the gas price hurting you??

Wow....we can not get gas for less than $4.59 per gallon. Most places want a bit more, but a few stations are still at $4.59. I hate filling my car. I try to fill it when it's only half empty. Otherwise it's $60 to fill it and I hate it :(

OH NO ... your heating bills are going to be astronomical!!

I'm not sure a new president is going to do us much good ... it's going to take a long time to get this all straighted up.

I would have thought you'd be even more expensive than that but it's still pretty high.

The new president has been very clear of his intent to raise taxes :( So maybe our gas prices might go down, but then our taxes go up.

Oh we definitely need new blood in the Oval Office that's for sure. I'm hoping things will change but it's not just gasoline prices ... there's lots of economic difficulty going on out there and it's going to take more than a change of command to correct the issue. I don't know how our taxes could not go up.
