All year long I have been writing that four dollars per gallon is just around the corner.  Unfortunately I have been proven correct in my prediction.  In many parts of the U.S. the price for regular gas is now at or above $4.00 per gallon.

We are still a few days away from Memorial day so you can bet that the price will be even higher this weekend.  Record highs again in the price of crude oil, for the first time over $135 per barrel.  Record high average gas prices now at $3.83 according to the American Automobile association.

The hurricane season is getting ready to start.  There is always the possibility of hurricanes hitting the sensitive area of the south and southeast coast where many refineries are located.  If that happens $5.00 or even $6.00 per gallon prices are not out of the realm of possibility.

The price of gas at the pump is not the only way you are affected.  The price of everything else is being pushed ever higher by fuel costs.  Food is one of the most visible areas that are seeing record price increases.  The fuel crisis is sucking corn out of the food chain and into the petroleum chain.  As a result, everything that had any corn component in it is seeing huge cost increases.

Animals such as cows that have relied heavily on corn for feed have become much more expensive to maintain.  Because of this, the price of milk and beef has risen quickly.  Almost every product you can think of has high fructose corn syrup in it.  All of those foods have seen price spikes too.

How can you weather this assault on your budget and on your pocket book?  You must learn to make adjustments.  You have to learn how to control and reduce your gas costs.  Fancy additives, gadgets to install and running your car on water (yeah, right) are not going to help. 

The only way to reduce your gas costs are to learn the real strategies and activities you need to do everyday to reduce your costs.  There are real solutions and ways to cut your gas consumption.  You just need to know what to do.
