MORAINE, Ohio -- With gas prices skyrocketing to about $3.80 a gallon, drivers are finding it harder and harder to fill up.Some say they’re choosing to use alternative methods, such as a motorcycle. Others are selling their larger trucks and SUV’s for a smaller, more gas-efficient car.Meanwhile, the General Motors plant in Moraine produces mid-size SUV’s. They’ve been shut down over the past two months because of the American Axle strike. But, there’s the question of whether people will still be a demand for their supply.The cost of gas has gone up about 16% since they shut down in early March.However the plant spokesperson, Jessica Peck, said she is not worried about the spike in prices at the pump. “GM is committed to go gas friendly to gas free,” Peck said.Peck said GM’s products will continue to be in demand by their customer base.
