The cost of gas

I never thought I'd see the day I'd be hoping and praying for $3 a gallon gas. Well, that day is here. As I was delivering newspapers to Wal-Mart in Hopkinsville yesterday I noticed that gas was $3.31 a gallon. It made me think and sick. I drive a very small car. Four cylinders with a 14 gallon tank. When I bought the car in 2000, I could fill it up on empty (with the light on, which I do not do often because I am one of those people) for $14. When I went off to Bowling Green to school, gas was about $1.20, that was just after 9/11. For a few weeks, the price of gas crept back down to about 98 cents a gallon. I remember because my roommate and I pulled off to the side of the road to take a picture of the sign. In those first days of $1.25 gas then $1.50 I remember thinking how expensive that was. Now I'd LOVE to see gas at that price. I'd LOVE to see it at $2.50 a gallon. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening in the near future. An alternative energy source needed and soon.
