As the Gas Prices keep rising, people are struggling to make ends meet. People are only driving when they need too… or are they??

Those people that are feeling this the most are those that are the single people and the families with kids.

The old saying of family comes first, but now to care for the family you need gas.

In the event of an emergency you need gas…

It’s like money it makes the world go around. Alas, here is the problem not everyone has enough money to pay for the price of gas.

Rumors say $1.50 cents a liter in Canada and about $3.00 a gallon in the USA, this summer alone.

And this is only the beginning.

Over the next 5 years Canadians can expect their gas prices to rise up to at least $6 a liter. In the USA, people can expect $5 a gallon.

Between the taxes on fuel and the numbers of refineries that will go offline due to weather, terrorism, and being shutdown by the corporations themselves.

So when it comes to digging into the pocket book, SUV’s and big trucks are not going to be the best choice, people are going to be looking for the smaller compact car that will be able to get them to where they need to go.

Hybrid cars are coming, and are slowly coming, and more people want to start saving money with new and top end hybrid cars.

So when you go to fuel up, and find that reaching into the bottom of the wallet to go somewhere is costing a little too much in your SUV, perhaps its time to get a smaller car.
