What to Do About Rising Gas Prices

It’s hard not to think you’re being gouged at the pump when you see the prices go up that fast, and in some cases, you are.
Gasoline is the bloodline that keeps America moving, and tracking gas prices can feel like a roller coaster ride. They're down a little one month, up the next, and then they shoot up more than 50 percent in a year. Plus, they're different depending on where you look. Other countries -- and even other states and cities -- can have very different gas prices from your local Gas-N-Go. To the average person, it probably seems as though there's little rhyme or reason to how gas prices are determined. In this article, we will look at the forces that impact the price of gas at the pump, and we'll find out where your gas money actually goes.

While many would say that the ideal solution would be to ride a bike, it’s simply not practical for everyone. The rise in gas prices has seen a spike in recent months that has people fearing for their future. What can people do?

They can always get a more gas-economical car. Nothing wrong with that. The challenges there stem with large families, large bills, and an inability to purchase vehicles. The other alternative – work with what you got.
