Gas prices taking a toll on truckers

Gas prices in the circle city have hit a record high. On Tuesday, gas stations began charging $3.95 a gallon for unleaded gas.

Obviously, another slow night in the news business when gas prices are the top story.

[SIGH]

Slow night or not, the "gas" issue is newsworthy.
We've only just begun to witness the fallout that will result from this.

[Stevo]

I think the government needs to get involved. I think it is bunch of crap prices are high because of a holiday or the elections.

Iagree with the truckers The president needs to take action and do something Now!I can barley aford to go to work on what I make.Whats wrong with this world? Why are so many people buying stock in gas?Its only makeing it go up for everybody...Wake up

[charles stone]

if we take the stock market out of the oil game then we will see gas prices come down.
because as long as the oil trader's are in this the prices will only keep going up.
they are just like the terrorist the only difference is they kill people
and the oil trader's kill us buy robbing us.

yes the goverment could do something if they wanted 2 but hey they are making their oil buddies rich

[confused]

The independent truckers need to strike & bring this country to its knees. Maybe that will get the government to take notice...

[Rick]

War on drugs? War on terror? The real war is on the middle class! Wake up America!

[john]

people need to wake up now while the election gets closer. pay attention to what these people are saying. if they start this new tax on the oil companies doesnt common sense tell you that they will close up and move out of this country? then watch how high gas price gets. they have to be allowed to drill for oil that everyone knows is here in this country!!!!!

[Jason]

Funny how the gas prices are at an all time high the same month people start receiving their stimulus tax checks! They are all in it together!! The Government needs to be swept clean of the corruption!!

i agree with jason! and as a dispatcher for truckers ...the brokers are tight wads!!! they need to pay more for the trips!

Yes indeed, we are "stuck up a suburban cul de sac in a concrete SUV and we are out of gas." We are on the unfortunate downward slide of a nasty little bell curve. We have allowed ourselves to become addicted to fossil fuels. Our very way of suburban life is changing right now, and it has all been predicted. Watch the documentary film "The end of suburbia" it's a nice little eye opener. There is no help out there from any politician no matter what they say, it is a mathmatical certainty, and the only changes that will come about will be the hard decisions we will have to make about how we choose to live. At least the bicycle is healthy until you get ran off the road by some happy corn fed ignorant red neck.
