Gas prices have went up about a dime a gallon in the last week.  With the Middle East unrest pushing the prices of oil, analysts warn that the already fragile economic recovery could sputter if the prices rise to high.  Unleaded is at 3.24 a gallon on average across the United States.  The price is still below the critical 3.50 mark, anything above 3.50 a gallon shows a severe change in the economy.  People shop less; spend less, so that they can drive less.  When this occurs the whole economy takes a huge loss when we hit 4$ a gallon in 08’ people were: riding buses, companies were offering teleworking options, people were less apt to go: car, house, clothes, grocery shopping.  People were turning there gas guzzlers in for eco friendly cars.  Some experts say: that the summer driving season will push up prices to 3.50 easily and that if trouble in the Middle East spreads to other Nations besides Libya, much higher prices are very much possible.  So what does this mean for company’s like ours that revolve around the driving time to make sure we get everyone into there dream home.  The housing market could very likely take a toll.  But if this does happen it would be smart for all of us to move closer to our companys find homes that are closer to our specific family needs.  It would be wise to look into if our home locations are economically for our daily family needs.
