Here we go again. Gas prices across the United States are increasing at an alarming rate. The national average has risen 36 percent in one year. Gasoline has not cost this much since the economic downturn began in 2008 and it's not getting any better. Congress has begun working on legislation to ease to pain at the pump, but there is no quick fix.
