PORT SAINT LUCIE, FL As gas prices hit an all time high this week, motorists in South Florida are floored. Amid the tensions and uprisings in the Arab world, especially Lybia, gas prices are expected to rise meteorically. When questioned "why so high, so fast when there are months of stock pile?", Oil executive Skid Euler of BP said "Import oil prices are near $150 a barrel! We are trying to cushion the prices as long as we can, but it won't be long before we have to raise the price again."
PSL, FL does not have a public transportation system, and since the towns are spread out, walking is just not an option. Most neighborhoods don't even have sidewalks even if they were forced to take a hike to the grocery store for milk it would be dangerous.
Prices are the highest they've ever been. All over the country a gallon of gas may even hit $9.00 by the end of the month. Even as winter has yet to leave the northern states, sales of bicycles have already surged, and company's are offering compensation to employees who will "share-a-ride" to the office.
