Motorists Selling Blood For Gas Money

SAN ANTONIO -- As retail gasoline prices soar to new record highs, a growing number of motorists are being forced to sell their blood for gas money.

"It is a never ending vicious cycle of donating and donating," resident Jessica Busby said. "Gas prices are ridiculous. What are we going to do?"

Busby is part of a trend of people finding unique ways to get gas money.

She rides her bike twice a week to the Grifols Biomat USA Plasma Center in San Antonio to give blood. She gets as much as $40 each session.

For a lot of people like Busby, it is the only alternative for keeping their cars on the road, KSAT's Steven Roldon reported.
