If the gas prices are rising why should we care? First of all people are having trouble getting to work cheaply. There are some people that have to drive an hour to work which can cost 12 dollars. Plus some people are having trouble paying for the regular things they want. They have to use the money from food and clothes to pay for the gas. Some people will have to go on shorter vacations. A major factor is people can’t even pay to drive. They have to ride bicycles or take trains so they can still get to work. This is a serious and totally focused topic. We need change.
