Shortly we will be paying double the amount for gas than what we were paying a year ago and I don't see any reason why it won't be thrice around the same time next year. But in spite of the fact that our pockets are getting ripped off by the price hike, I have managed to find at least one positive side of it.

There are many people who spend lot of money to get rid of their body fat and majority of that expenditure turns out to be wastage of money as the weight-meter never shows a sign of going into a reverse gear. Gas price-hike gives all those people a golden opportunity to stay fit and reduce their weight by walking. Yes, park your car in the garage and walk at least 5 miles everyday or as much as you can.

Also think of the hours which most of the people spend walking on a treadmill. Why treadmill? Get to the road and start walking to nearby shopping centers for your small needs.

Believe me, you will feel lighter but your pocket will feel heavier. Not bad, isn't it?
