I live in the Phila, PA area and gas has just gone past $4 in some areas. Some stations are still at $3.95. There's really nothing I can do about it either. I was thinking about taking public transportation to work, but that's 3 busses each way for me. And since gas is rising, the bus prices will soon go up too. We're already at $2 for a one-way fare. I wish I could walk to and from work.
Have you heard about a trucking company called Jevick in NJ? They abruptly went out of business last week due to the gas prices. Everyone was laid off, and no one got severence pay! And no one know the company was closing until the day it happened. The CEO was fighting hard to save the company, but there was nothing he could do. This left about 1500 people out of work.
