gas prices DOUBLED in 2 years!!

We bought our home in a semi-rural area in 2006 (gas prices were then at $1.89 a gallon) they are now at $3.69 a gallon! There is NO WAY this a related to a shortage of oil! This has forced us to try and sell our home to move closer to the city (we live 30 miles from work) and have been unable to sell it in over 14 months on the market!
Middle to lower income families are being hit the HARDEST in this- as many of these families are like us-one income.

Thoughts of things like foreclosure-if we can't sell our home and questions of should we put gas on our credit card are almost daily/weekly thoughts! We have never had such serious financial issues (as we have always tried to stay out of serious debt=avoid credit cards).

I'm sure there are LOTS of FAMILIES just like us facing these same situations and the answers sure are few and far between it seems.
