Gas price frustrations

The other day I went down to the service station and filled my ATV tank and it took over $11 to fill it (and it was not even empty yet), now the gas prices are raising and I am rethinking my plots to go driving all over Alaska on my ATV this year. It is just insane when even the ATV riders are rethinking on if they can afford to keep their ATV's fueled up. The car took over $40 and only got 9 gallons of gas in it. When are these gas prices going to start dropping back down to reasonable levels? Used to be that I could fill a motorcycle tank for $1.25, now I can't hardly even get enough to prime a carburetor for that price.
