Gas Prices

When Bush came into office gas was only $1.45 per gallon. In less than 8 years gas has rose to $3.50 per gallon. That is almost a $2 rise in just 8 years. In 1930, gas was only 19 cents per gallon. From 1930 to 2000, gas only rose $1.26. In 70 years, gas prices rose less than the amount they have rose the past 8 years. I find this outrageous. It is predicted that if we continue on the same road we are on now with our oil problem, a gallon of gas will be $5 in another year. If gas continues to rise, what will happen to our society. I cant imagine paying over $70 to fill the tank in my little Jetta. How much will people with bigger cars have to pay? This issue needs to be handled because it is seriously affecting out country. Airline tickets increase, road trips become too expensive, and car dealerships are going to continuously be affected by this. I heard of this car that is powered by hydrogen. Not only is practically free, it is beneficial to the environment. They have these hydrogen powered in Iceland, so it is about time they make their way to the United States.
