Gas prices continually rise and when they do it can cause anxiety for some motorists. Brielle Hamilton is starting a new job at a local clothing store but feels she might be working only to put gas in her car if the prices remain high. In the suburbs of Atlanta, gas is $3.51 per gallon.

She says, “I know people have to work in order to earn a living but with gas so high, I can see why someone would not want to work when most of their pay is going in the tank and I’m only 19.” (Photo by: Robin Hamilton/Full Sail University).

Duluth, GA. (June 8, 2013) With a half hearted sigh of relief that the pump stopped, “See, look! Here is my point! It just cost me $40 to fill up a small car,” Hamilton said. “I hope it lasts for at least two weeks,” she added. Hamilton hopes to one day have a career so that paying high prices at the pump becomes a distant memory. (Photo by: Robin Hamilton/Full Sail University).
