Pain in the pump ... unbelievable!

Who wouldn't want to talk about the gas price these days. I filled up my tank yesterday and I spent $43.24, that would make almost $4. 00 a gallon. I don't remember spending that much money on gas. I drive a Mitsibushi Lancer and I usually spend not more than $28.00 not too long ago. I talked to my roommate and another friend of mine who happened to fill up their tank too yesterday. We all said, "I almost cried." The price keeps going up and affects the price of food too. It' s scary!
I received these pictures from a friend. I thought they were funny! (I did a little translation for my family:)

Mangina fa aza velon-kira eo. Tsy hitan'ialahy angaha ny vidin'ny lasantsy midangana be io!

Tsy "en panne" akory ny fiarako fa mora kokoa ity noho ny maka lasantsy

Nisy mpangalatra!

Now, what can we do about this? I think the first thing would be to change our driving habit to reduce the demand. It will save us money and energy of course.
