Why Gas Price Hikes Don't Scare Me

Gas prices are up across the country to the tune of $2.97 per gallon.

Of course, the politicians are up in arms, saying that they are going after "price gougers."

The national price for gasoline on Monday soared 10 cents over the week to an average $2.97 a gallon.

U.S. Energy Secretary Sam Bodman warned on Tuesday that the pump price may reach a new record high this summer, topping the $3.07 a gallon reached in September 2005 after Hurricane Katrina disrupted petroleum supplies along the Gulf Coast.

But I'm not worried. Gas prices go up, gas prices go down.

I still get more than 35 miles to the gallon in my car, a 97 Toyota Tercel Blackhawk.

It may not be pretty and it may not be huge, but having the right car makes all the difference.

If gas prices are hurting you, re-evaluate your situation. If you need the car you currently have, then deal with it. Small business owners, pass on higher prices to your clients. But don't go to the politicians looking for straight talk and answers.

Are you driving more than you need?
