Day Care workers, make less then $10.00. Security Guards, SuperMarket Cashiers, the list goes on and on of people who earn $7.00 or less. These people are not able to pay $4.00 a gallon of gas.
They will soon need to apply for government assistance to survive.
I'm sure they may pay a bit more outside of South Florida, but not that much for these types of jobs.

I agree, we are going to have to pay one way or another. Also use public transportation sounds good but alot of places simply dont have it. In NYC if you knew the subways and buses you could get very close to where you wanted to go in the 5 boroughs. In atlanta alot of places you dont have a car, you are fucked. The reason they live there is its cheaper to live. Where my wife is from in WI, again you dont drive you are fucked.
