Naming factors like long drives for vacations and the necessity of driving in North Dakota as their reasons, students will be paying more at the pump with little resistance. In addition, students won't be changing their driving habits. The reasons for higher gas prices range from the local to the international level. The news service Reuters reported a tight supply of crude oil, which will push prices up as the vacation season appoaches. As that time of year comes, higher traffic and greater demand will push prices up locally.
Gas prices are already on their way up, even before the summer holidays come.
But there's nothing you can do about it. You've got to go places. You've got to go to work. You still need to drive. Most students have accepted the fact that gas will go up, and those prices are not deterring them from changing their plans dramatically.
