Gasoline prices affect summer plans

Americans are changing vacation plans as the price of a gallon of gasoline keeps on rising. One driver, filling up for a trip, noted that they’ll pay $100 just to drive to their vacation destination and back.
“It’s more than our hotel bill,” she said after filling her Ford Ranger.


          Accelerating

Said the driver, “I’m angry,
I simply could spit.”
It’s the price of his gas
That’s causing his fit.

No vacations, this year;
He’s just out of luck,
As he feeds yet more fuel
To his gas guzzling truck.
