No Relief For Climbing Gas Prices
$3.50 Today; $4/gal This Summer? Ugh.
The New York Times noted today that gas prices across the USA are now averaging a record $3.50/gallon. With several months to go before US demand for gas typically peaks, experts are now predicting gasoline to average $4/gal this summer.
As much as I'd prefer to burn calories not carbon and get everywhere by bike, that's just not feasible given the distances I must cover for work and to run errands. Looks like I'll just have to grit my teeth, condense my travel and keep cycling whenever circumstances allow.
By the way, if you ride a bicycle, a fun way to protest high gas prices is the "Zero Per Gallon" sticker.References:
