The last time we hit $4.00 gas, the entire economy went south.

And most think it will get there again.(Rasmussen)- Nearly nine-out-of-10 Americans say they are paying more for gas than they were last summer and expect to pay even more six months from now. Most say $4-a-gallon gas is likely by July 1.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 87% of Adults say they are paying more for gas than they were six months ago. At the end of August, just 40% said the same. Only one percent (1%) say they are paying less for gas now, while nine percent (9%) say they’re spending about the same amount.
