<\/p>\nI am very fortunate that throughout my life I’ve had many opportunities to travel. <\/p>\n
One thing in all my adventures remains consistent. Whether I’ve gone to the moon, or to the Jersey shore for a few days, my parents ask me the same two questions, without fail, upon my return.<\/p>\n
1. What’d you eat?<\/p>\n
2. What was the price of gas there?<\/p>\n
With summer approaching, gas prices are expected to rise<\/a>. Experts are saying it will likely go into the $3 – $3.25 range. It’s not supposed to be as bad as last year when prices reached over $4<\/a> in some parts of the country.<\/p>\n Somewhat relieving is that the price increase is not due to American consumption<\/a> – it’s because of the price of crude oil, for which the demand continues to go up from places like China. <\/p>\n Since our economy is still, well, nothing to brag about, do you think this forecasted price increase will impact you? How will it change your daily life<\/a>? Or summer vacation plans?<\/p>\n
