Does the rise of gasoline affect your life?

The rising gas prices do affect mine and my fiances life,since we have a Chevy Blazer which is a gas hog, it means we can not go out very often,and where we live it makes it hard to find a job,I really hope gas prices come down sometime soon.

Uhh yeah....I have totally cut back on my driving. I used to drive about 100 miles round trip every Saturday to visit relatives and shop. I don't do that anymore. The gas price just keeps going up weekly. It is now $4.39 per gallon where I live. It is having a huge rippling affect on alot of industries. I just heard that some automobile plants are going to close down because the demand for big gas sucking vehicles has decreased dramatically and everyone is shopping for hybrids and cars with good fuel mileage.

The rise in gas has an effect on all the world... We all have become dependent on other countries for something and the use of fuel is how this "something" gets there. The sad part is they hold a monopoly on this fuel and we the consumers are the ones who pay while they the owners and investors are getting richer every day. Once they realized that our dependency was so out of hand they let their greed take over. It is much like your first taste of your favorite candy, the more you get the more you want...Greed is one of the seven sins and everyone who has ever made a dollar wants more, so we are all guilty of this sin. Sure it will have an effect on me as well as everyone in the USA or anywhere where goods are imported or exported. I think that about covers the whole world. We should have seen this coming and prepared for it but our government just sat on their fat-arses and hoped it could get by.

Truth is, I am sick and tired of the non-stop increase in oil prices. We have become too dependent on this commodity that we just have to accept its fate. A liter of gasoline here in the Philippines range from P52-P56 pesos (as of today). I am sure that it will again increase in a couple of days. I rarely do long driving now as I used to. It has become very expensive to travel a lot these days.

hi scorpiachoo, the rise of gasoline price pretty much affect my life, and I guess almost everyone else. Price of gasoline in my country is now at Php 55.00 per liter which is more than $1 USD. And it keeps on rising every week. It's a sad fact that every citizen right are having hard time coping with these rise in oil/gas prices.

yes. this will affect my life significantly because i drive my car to work everyday. since gas price is rising up, i have to allow more funds for my gas expenses. & it hurts my pocket big time.

It had very drastic affect on life of all indians because in my country ie India, the prices are going up and up....nothing seems to be cheap neither food, oil, petrol nor even air to breathe....

Yes it does. I cannot have any more of my fav night drives around the city to cool off. I cannot go on drives with my friends and catch up on things. Well, I think its time to evolve. Evolve and find a better way to spend time without having to worry about the costs. Evolving is the way. bourne

Of course it affects my life along with many others. Gas keeps going up and its like $4.00 per gallon now. I think thats way too much for us to be paying but I can make the prices for everyone. A lot of my friends families arent even going anywhere because of the prices of gas.
