Gas Prices Set Record

Gas and diesel pump prices are going out of sight. We heard a week ago that many of those truckers who work on their own are dropping out because they just can't afford to fill their trucks. One guy on the news said it cost him $900 every other day to fill his semi. I can't even imagine it, can you? And we feel bad when we have to spend $35 or $40 for a partial tank of gasoline. These costs are being passed on down to the consumers through higher grocery prices too making it a double whammy for most people, especially hard on laborers with families to feed. Gas here tonight was $3.26 a gallon.
