Gas Prices #5

Most of us in the class are near the same age and I can remember when gas was like $1.25 a gallon. Think back, can you remember seeing any gas prices when you were younger? How much were they? Gas prices lately have been crazy! They have been ranged from $1.25 to $3.00 a gallon in the past year. My mom made a remark last night how one week they will be $2.69 then they jump back down a week later to $2.33. Do the gas companies not know what is really going on or are they trying to test their fellow Americans? Most families can not afford to put gas in their cars for transportation. The last couple time I have been on a bus they have been packed full because it is way cheaper to ride them then buy gas for their cars. At $2.33 a gallon it takes my mom $40.. to fill her tank, which lasts three to five days. A bus pass is $25 a month. Think about it. Buses are way cheaper. A lot of people pay a lot more than $40 a gallon to fill up their tanks. They should decide on a gas price and lower it, or raise it ONLY as needed.
