With gas prices at almost $4 a gallon, I cringe filling up my car with gas!

I see my paycheck going and going and going and saying "bye bye" with a smart-aleck tone.

Let's face it, gas prices will continue to go up!

Then I remember that I need to buy food and pay rent with the same check. OUCH!!!

I stand at the pump and watch it roll up and up and I am sure I say a few words..…not in praise that is…but in disgust!

I am too stubborn, as my friend tells me, when he offers to help me out.

"Yes, I tell him." It's a trait I got from my Mother along with a few others!

Anyway, what are American's supposed to do?

We do have to drive to get to work…it is not like Brazil has a hybrid city bus or a bus in general that will take people around town.

Car companies need to move a little faster in getting "affordable" hybrid vehicles out on the market.

General Motors has just released their brand new hybrid Tahoe.

It is a great addition to the SUV world, but who can afford the $45,000-50,000 price tag?

I can't afford the car that I am currently driving.

I wish I were brave enough to ride a motorcycle to work without having the bad helmet hair that I know I would get!

I can picture myself in my head right now, riding on a motorcycle in a dress/skirt flying behind me!

All I will need is a broom and Toto to complete the Wizard of Oz look!

Well, what else can I say about gas prices that we are not all already saying…….
