Often shortened to gas. The oil-based substance on which most vehicles run and have run since 1900. Unfortunately, gasoline is polluting and expels harmful chemicals when burned such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and ozone. While many consider gas prices to be high, note that bottled water costs way more than gasoline ever did, and nobody complains about its price. Although harmful in the short run, high gas prices will lead to a reduction in environmentally unfriendly SUVs and a shift to fuel-efficient or alternatively fueled cars (note, however, that high gas prices can be difficult or impossible to cope with during the current recession).
