I recently asked my sister a few questions when she picked my up to go to the store.
  1. How has gas prices affected you?  Its has limited me the times I go out to the mall or out at night. I make sure if I go to the store I go for the necessary items.
  2. How often do you fill up your car? I fill it up about 4 times a week  
  3. Is that a lot or just ok? I feel like it quite a lot given the reason that I do fill up my tank.
  4. Where do you think you spend most of your gas? Work! I usually have to take my car to make  deliveries.
Over the years gas prices have been rising, they sometimes spike up out of a sudden. Usually during Summer the gas prices go up. In an article "How Drivers Can Fight Back Against Rising Gas Prices" posted in FOX Business, it stated that during the Summer gas prices are likely to go up. In the article it gave consumers tips on how to save. The tips that were stated were, watch driving habits, Pay attention to vehicle maintenance and be aware about were you're filling up your gas. I, even though I don't own my own vehicle have been affected by the gas prices. In my personal experience I have asked my sister for a ride to the mall, or to friends houses but she tells me no because she had gas and knew that I had no money to pay her.  Even though its not a serious problem in my situation, gas prices still affected me. Gas prices rising will affect anyone and everyone in a different way.
