May 24th, 2008 Insane gas prices
In Japan we’ve been dealing with super high gas prices for years, while those of you in the States (dad, mom, Vi, DT, et al), have been living a life of comparative ease- until now! Check out this article in today’s NY Times. Wow! I was shocked when I saw that photo- up to $5.69 for a gallon of gas in the USA???!!! What is that??? This is way way higher than just last year, when I visited you all. I remember feeling shocked when I saw $2.70/gallon; now it’s averaging over $4???? How are you dealing with this?
Here in Japan, gas prices just shot up again. I figured it out, and we’re up to about $5.89/gallon ($1.55/liter). We’re dealing by driving a lot less. I’ve been riding my bike to work almost every day. Thankfully it hasn’t been raining much… But what about you guys? How do you manage with such insane prices? Let me know by leaving a comment below.
