Over the summer of 2008, gasoline prices soared to nearly $5.00 a gallon. These ridiculous prices caused many drivers to dust off their old bicycles and use that as an alternative mode of transportation. The gas prices have come down considerably in the past few months probably because many of the drivers paying for gas decided that they did not want to pay that much for gas. Gas prices have lowered all the way down to $1.95. This might mean that we are going to see more people spending more money on gas which may cause more cars on the road.
