Gas is $3.50 a GALLON????? Wait, so college students, who do not have money coming out of their ears, are supposed to pay almost 4 bucks for one gallon of gas? Ridiculous, honestly. Having my car available down here in Athens makes it a lot easier to travel home, or to places of emergency. It is a complete tragedy that we have to pay so much for one tiny gallon of gas. Most cars do not get over 20 mph for each gallon. My car does not get over about 16. The state and gasoline oil companies have completely taken away the choice for people to drive. Many are turning to public transportation. Competition between oil companies such as Marathon and BP are fighting for low gas prices to attract consumers. This example represents Tragedy of the Commons on a college aspect.

I think that it is ridiculous that places are becoming selfish and raising there prices so they can make more money. It shouldn't be all about competition but that is what it has come to.
