Dealing with high gas prices

March 20, 2012

I understand your concern about high gas prices. America's dependency on oil makes high gas prices extremely disruptive and costly. This is especially true in the Atlanta area where transit by car is sometimes the only option. I am working to reduce America's dependence on oil through a variety of measures, including providing sustainable transit options. The fuel market is extremely volatile and can be affected by a number of factors, including world demand, geopolitical events, weather and speculation.

Below you'll find a brief guide in helping you and your family navigate and mitigate the high cost of gas. I hope you find this helpful.
