price spikes mostly in stride, but now that
gas is closing in on $5 a gallon, some are considering changing their transportation habits.
"I might actually park my car for a while and start biking," said Sam Hewatt, 25, who was filling his sedan with $4.99-a-gallon premium.
Some analysts believe prices nationally will begin to decline soon but say California could see a longer spike given its unique fuel requirements.
