Gas prices

After reading this article by Ben Rooney i know more information about Gas Prices. As we all know that gas prices are increasing. Just this past week prices have gone up 6 cents and this is just the beginning. The prices have gone up to a 100 dollars a barrel, but that only tells us what? Well that means that the prices on filling up our gas tanks will only go up as well. We do not see prices decreasing anytime soon. Also "Truck drivers and Bussinesses will have to lay-off workers, because of high gasoline prices. And that adds on to schools, buses, metro buses, taxi's, and etc.. We rely on gasoline alot and that is why it is putting a huge dint in our wallets. Also the prices of our food will also increase because farmers are charged alot for using their tractors to run their farms. Postage stamps will also increase because they also use tranportation that rely on gasoline such as airplanes and vehicles. If we could drill off the shores of The U.S. our prices would not increase so much. But because of the oil spill in the Eastern Golf Coast we are not allowed to drill in Eastern Golf Coast, off the Atlantic and Pacific.
