The upside of gasoline price hikes

One great thing about living in a town that is basically five miles square is that you can either walk or bicycle anywhere, and if you do have to drive, you won't have far to go. This is especially nice with the extreme rise in gas prices over the last year. Long gone are the days back in the early 1990s when gas was less than a dollar a gallon. Now we are lucky to get below $2.50 a gallon. It seems like there is always something to blame on the price hikes as well. Every tropical storm, oil spill, or terrorist threat leads to a rise in the price of gas.

I always try to look on the positive side of things, and in this case it would make sense to look into gas investments. If you are financially invested, you would not be so upset when the price of gas goes up, because you could benefit with your investments. Although you may just break even depending on how much gasoline you purchase, at least it's worth a try.
