GAS WOES!!!!!!

OK, SO THIS WHOLE GAS SITUATION IS GETTING OUT OF HAND, I MEAN ISNT THERE SOMTHING SOMEONE CAN DO ABOUT IT. IT TOOK DECADES FOR THE PRICE OF GAS TO RISE ABOVE $2.00. IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT A DECADE FOR IT TO RISE $2.00 MORE. MAKING THE PRICE PER GALLON OVER $4.00. $4.09 A GALLON IS WHAT I PAID THIS AFTERNOON (OK I GUESS ITS WOULD TECHNACLLY BE YESTER, DARN INSOMNIA) IT COSTED 74.75 TO FILL MY TANK. THATS JUST GAS FOR THE WEEK, FORGET ANY EXTRA TRIPS. OH AND I GUESS NO OUT OF TOWN TRIPS THIS SUMMER. ITS ABSOLUTLY RIDICULOUS. I HAVE BEEN WORKING A PART TIME JOB, AND IT SEEMS LATELY THAT I WORK MY PART TIME JOB SO WE CAN HAVE EXTRA GAS MONEY. BEFORE WE SPENT ABOUT 75 TO 100 EVERY TWO WEEKS ON GAS, IT TOOK THAT MUCH JUST TO FILL UP. WHICH MEAN ITS GOING TO COST 150 TO 200. KIMO AND I WERE TALKING TODAY ABOUT ALL OUR LIL TRIPS HERE AND THERE , TAKING THE KIDS TO THE MALL OR EVEN TO THE MOIVES, JUST GETTING THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE, WITH THESE PRISES, ITS ALMOST TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CANT JUST GET IN YOUR CAR ANYMORE AND GO BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CHOSE BETWEEN TAKING THE KIDS ON AN OUTING OR SAVING GAS AND STAYING HOME AND DOING SOMEHTING....UGH.....
