The Gas Crisis

So this week I just had to blog about something that is probably on everyone’s minds, the rising gas prices. Now being the nosey person that I am I had to get the inside story which works out great since I happen to work at a gas station part time on the weekends. I always thought that the gas stations had control of hoe much their gas costs. Boy was I wrong. Actually what happens is the manager gets a call from someone down at the “office” every day to let her know what to do with the price that day. I am not sure what oil company owns us but I know that is where the call about the gas price comes from. I can only speculate how high it will get this summer but my inside sources say that it will defiantly hit $4.00 and that is where it is suppose to say with no drop in site. I know that people are already panicking and I do not blame them, all I can say is when will the government step in and draw the line. I know that they are suppose to be giving us a tax rebate to help us out but I think that is only going to temporarily stimulate that economy. If you ask me they should be looking at the stopping the steady rise in gas price as a way to help out the American consumer.
