After the latest hurricane, we experienced the gas shortage around here, as many did. It was really scary--watching the gas gauge go below E and hoping there would be gas to fill it up again, driving around town looking for gas stations that were not completely out of gas, paying very high prices when you could find some gas, only getting a few gallons before the pump stopped because there wasn't any gas left, and waiting in long gas lines only to get to the pump and realize that the person in front of you just emptied the pump. Not fun! Not fun at all! At least it DID get better a few weeks later, but we will always remember how scary this situation was! It definitely made me want to move to a place where I wouldn't have to drive as many miles in a car each day! I plan to use public transportation and walk more once we move to Florida--I can't wait to get away from where we are now--completely reliant on fuel and car use! I would love to not have to be so dependent upon cars and gasoline!
