In the News: How Are We Dealing with the Gas Crisis?
May 29, 2008Every day, I scour the internet looking for news pertinent to office
professionals. Lately, I've been inundated with articles of rising oil
prices, and while I find it a mundane detail of life, gas prices are
affecting us all and how we deal with it is incredibly important. We
can't escape the ever increasing prices and I would love to discuss
what we're doing about it. I read an article today at Salon.com
that outlines the reasons why gas is so expensive. The author suggests
that while it's easy to point a finger, it's a combination of
everything from economic changes to greed that makes us pay so dearly
at the pumps. The average price of gas as of today in the U.S. is $3.94 a gallon, which makes a barrel $130.04. According to Oil-price.net,
the trend will continue upward, reaching a high of $169.05 by the
year's end. So what exactly does this mean for you and me? For me it
means that I'm currently spending almost $50 to fill up my tank and
because it's only increasing, I won't be driving much.
