Gas prices

This is getting crazy - last night the price went up 4 cents at the gas station around the corner from our house. Some places are over $3. One this morning was $3.05. Geez! I'm glad that I only drive 4 miles to work now - I wouldn't be able to afford commuting to a job no matter how great the job. Who knows when it is going to stop. I remember when I could fill up for $10. When was the last time you were able to do that? So of course everything is going to go up in price because everything depends on gas. How is the typical middle class person supposed to get ahead?
