The Fuel Prices Are Ridiculas!!!

Wow! This is outrageous! It's almost $4.00 a gallon here at the stations. How is it possible for someone to survive on minimum wage these days? If it costs more to live, everyone's pay should increase. It needs more balance before inflation gets worse. We all need fuel to get around. I have a Jeep Liberty and it stays thirsty. LOL!! I am happy that I no longer have to transport my son back and forth to school, due to summer vacation. How are the truck drivers affording this? How can ANYONE that is not rich afford this?
