How are gas PRICES affecting YOU and your family?

I live in South texas and has is 3.89/gallon. I know that I have cut down on eating out because of this. I am just wondering how it has affected everyone else. If it takes about 40 dollars to fill up a car, thats 1 day of work at a minimum wage job. This is definately ridiculous! People have lost their cars, homes, and other possessions because of everything going up.

    I live in Arizona and my boyfriend quit his job because of the gas price. The company he works for gave him $3.00 more an hour because of the gas prices and hired him back. But yes I agree the gas prices are crazy.

    i have been noticing a dramatic upward thrust over the stunning few months in nutrition expenditures, as a results of increaded trucking expenses. yet really, even as people pay 4 or 5 funds for a cup of Starbuck's & $2 for a bottle of water, how are you going to no longer justify the fee of gasoline? extraordinarily even as in Europe, this is been over $6 for years.
