Crazy Gas Prices

I just read online that crude oil prices hit almost $67/barrell today. Ouch. I have mixed feelings about this. I live in northern minnesota and public transportation is not to accessible, so I have to drive to work. My family also lives three hours away and if I ever want to visit them it can be expensive and is getting more expensive by the day.

However, I feel that it is important for more mass transit systems to be created and utilized. I do not think this country can continue driving individual cars around forever. One reason is that people will not be able to afford this method of transportation. Last month I spent around $150 in gas and seriously think that is nothing compared to what a lot of people spend.

I also feel very helpless when it comes to gas prices and transportation. I am not really sure what to do to improve the situation.
