Have you ever been lost or unsure of which direction to take? In today's technologically savvy world, we are less likely to find ourselves in this situation. We have cellular phones on which we can call and ask for directions or log on to the Internet and look up our destination on a map. Many vehicles are now equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) that takes the guesswork out of finding our destination. We simply enter the address of the place we want to go and follow the verbal prompts of the computer. If we fail to obey the prompts, the system will announce "recalculating" and begin to give us new directions. The only way it could get any easier is if the GPS would drive the vehicle for us.

As of September 3, 2008, the average gasoline price in the United States was $3.69 (www.zfacts.com). Although the average gasoline price has dropped more than ten cents compared to the previous month, Americans are still feeling the strain at the pump.

(“NBRI”) shows that attitudes toward gasoline prices vary significantly by demographic group, such as Age, Gender, Annual Income, Level of Education, Marital Status, Political Party, Voter Registration Status, and State of Residence.
