Due to gas hikes, CA motorists are finding it cheaper to hire day laborers to push their vehicles

Los Angeles, CA -- In response to record-high gas prices in California, many motorists across the state (especially those who own gas-guzzling vehicles) have begun abandoning gas pumps, choosing instead to pay day laborers to push their vehicles.
Hired in groups of three and capable of reaching speeds of 35 miles per hour (when pushing at full force), the workers can power a car the entire day at a fraction of what Californians would normally pay if they were using gasoline. In addition, because they can only reach the 35 mile-per-hour mark, the likelihood of an accident is reduced significantly, thereby reducing the driver's insurance premium.
On the downside, it takes a bit longer to get a vehicle to its destination, but the added savings in gas, security, and insurance premiums are worth the sacrifice, as evidenced by the empty gas stations that are being reported throughout the state.
Discovered two weeks ago by a Humvee driver that ran out of gas in front a Home Depot and needed help pushing his truck home, this new supply of alternative fuel is being hailed as the most unlikely source of clean and affordable energy.
More importantly, it was discovered just in time to save California from an energy crisis. Problems with power outages and fires at California refineries have kept gas prices rising at a steady pace in the past two weeks, and Governor Jerry Brown recently ordered emergency steps to increase the state's gas supply.
Now, thanks to the help of millions of day laborers who are pushing vehicles on the streets and highways of California, Governor Jerry Brown is expected to cancel the emergency plan and declare the state's gas problems solved.
