As everyone is getting ready for spring break something unexpected happens. Gas prices sky rocket to $4.16 a gallon. Many people plan ahead and figure gas money, spending money and other minor expenses. However; this gas price change is making everyone re-punch numbers to figure out the change. Twenty or thirty cents may not seem like a huge change but for people driving across state, this puts a huge dip into their pocket. Its all anyone can talk about and people are not happy with gas companies. There is a pattern with gas prices though so can vacationers really be surprised? As a big holiday or travel period nears gas prices inflate because the demand is so high for it and then after a couple days it goes back to normal. But the fact that it’s over $4 is driving people mad.
Gas prices increases were already outrageous before this raise but now people may react. Plans are already in play for spring break but what about after. There is already talk of people going on strike after break though. A large amount of people not buying gas for one day will dramatically affect the oil companies. But let’s face it, people today believe they simply cannot get anywhere without a car. It is one bad way the modern day people have changed. Even though the demand for gas prices comes from consumers they still complain about it. People need gas to certain extent and there isn’t much to be done about it but save pennies.
Walking is great for short distance routes and biking is also. It save money and gives people the workout they night need. It is also great for the environment. Buses are also great to take for long commutes. It really saves people money and is convenient for people as well. Car pooling is also good to do if going to the same destination. A gas price for an individual goes down a lot and it could improve their financial situation.
