Can You Give Up Gas Or Start Saving?

Marilyn, I don't understand gas prices either. Here in the Canadian prairies, we are basically living over an ocean of oil. It's everywhere. Every farmer's field has oil rigs on it. From what I understand, we sell it to the US to be refined, and then buy it back for higher prices. But still, the prices fluctuate so much within a few days, it just doesn't make sense. They are using the same tank that they paid one price for, so why the fluctuations?

We can't really change our gas useage. We drive our Camry for our daily commute and it's pretty good on gas. Since we don't live in the city we can't use public transportation because we have to drive there every day to begin with. We don't really do much extra driving besides going to work, because we're boring and we just stay home lol.
