I'm a single mother of three living on a tight budget otherwise known as a shoestring.
That extra money in the tank is hurting me, I do home health care and I have to travel, I have had to turn down jobs recently because of the cost of gas.

How far would you have to drive for gas to be a factor? Unless you drive a gas guzzling SUV I dont see how gas prices should be a factor in your taking jobs. For example if you took a job that was 45 miles both ways and drove both ways in a car with 25 MPG you would pay less than 7 dollars for gas for that job.
