Many residents rely on their vehicles to travel to work, school, and other destinations within the Houston area, and the increased cost of fuel will be felt across the community. For those who live in Bellaire but work in other parts of Harris County, the rise in gas prices may lead to a reevaluation of their transportation options and expenses.
