Today gas prices in Grand Forks, North Dakota are just shy of $4. So what is a person to do? I am not sure. I live about 15 miles from the city where I work. So obviously it’s not a distance that I can bike to work on a regular basis, especially since I live off of a major highway. Also, I have child so it wouldn’t be safe or really even feasible to do so. That leaves me with paying the $4 per gallon or higher. What a person can do is slow down and increase your gas mileage. I have heard about hypermiling and I am sure it true but how much of difference is what I wonder
I wonder if two or even five years from now how much the price of gas will be. I assume it will be higher, either that or we will be switching to a different fuel source. I guess in Europe prices are already well over $4 per gallon, so we really don’t have it that bad.
The big question is why is the gas price so darn high? The answer, the stock market. The economy is in a slump, recession whatever you want to call it so that leads to what we have now. Will things get better, sure they can’t get any worse can they? (Sarcasm).
That leads us to the upcoming election. I haven’t been paying that close lately but I am rooting for Barack Obama. As Leo Laporte said, when you watch a movie and they show a black president you are usually watching a fictional movie about the future, since having a president other than a white guy is fiction (at least according to Hollywood). So now I think we might be moving towards the future and it won’t be fiction anymore, let’s hope.
