Gas prices seem to go higher and higher every day.
With no end to the price hike in sight, Andrea Price of Foley had an idea. It wouldn't ease the pain at the pump but it would make her feel a little better. "It makes me feel good that I can say something it may not do any good at all at least I'm being heard."
The bumper sticker talks about profits, prices and parked cars. "Over three dollars a gallon and they make 40 point 6 billion in profit and that's after they pay all their bills," she says.
Coming up with a bumper sticker to let the world know how you feel certainly won't change anything but it does get people talking. Gil Brett is from Michigan and spends the winters in Baldwin County. He says higher gas prices has affected their travels, "We're very dissatisfied with the prices I don't understand them personally."
"I think it's a great idea," says sales representative Sheri Scheer.
"We don't go as much as we used to we used to stay on the road all the time but we don't anymore," says Price.
With talk of four dollar a gallon gas by this summer, Price may need to start working on her next bumper sticker now.
Triple "A" expects gas to hit $3.75 a gallon and beyound by this Spring. The reasons; Spring Break, the dollar losing ground against other currencies and rising oil prices.
