I am beginning to think that I need to re-examine spending habits and even more than that driving habits. My driving habits have always been very free and willingly to go anywhere and do anything. Now that Gasoline is at $4.51 a gallon in NYC, I am now going to halt any excessive driving. I am wondering why Gas prices have doubled in the last 10 years and have grown more in 10 years then the price of gas increased over the previous 50 years. I think my answer will be to obtain a Hybrid eventually.
