To say the least the prices keep soaring and we keep paying. In this days world gas is necessity, so it is a must. But what do you think is going to happen overtime as it keeps raising, to even more high prices. What are some going to do if Gas is 7-8 dollars a gallon at the end of the year? No sayin we're going to end up like that...but at this rate thats the way its looking. I was in deep thought the other day about this, about the bigger picture of all of this. Im not an ecomnomic expert, im not an expert on oil and prices. But given that Gas is a necessity and people have to pay for it to get to their jobs/homes. What is it allover going to do to our economy? In my eyes its going to do nothing but shatter it. If gas is so expensive to where some people (probably mostly middle class) can only go to their jobs and Very important places..Where else are these people going? NOWHERE. Are they going out to eat? Are they going on vacations?Are they going shopping? No they are going to be pumping all their spending money into the gas pumps. Money to pay your bills, buy your groceries, and pump your tank full of gas..then your broke living paycheck to paycheck. Mind you this was only from me being in deep thought, about the downward spiral peoples financial lives could take if this gas price problem never goes away. i just thought it was a dreary prospect.

It is a very sad thought. They say by 2010 they expect it to reach $7 dollars a gallon. It's just an example of the old expression "The rich get richer, the poor get poorer." Or in this case the middle class disappears.
