It seems as though the cost of everything else is rising due to the high gas prices. Each week when I grocery shop, it seems the cost of items get higher and higher.
Have you felt the sting of the rising gas costs ?

Right. I wish my stupid little car was even littler and stupider. I get about 25 mph...I wish I got more like 40 mpg. After the last Gulf War, the gas prices went down. No such luck this time.
I never thought the 90's would look like the good old days, but now they do.

No, not at all. I graduated college May 2005 at the age of 35. I am starting over for at least the third time in my life. I am living well enough within my means to not have to worry about rising gas prices for a while. My car averages 36 mpg highway at 85 mph. I get two weeks out of a tank of gas when I drive around town only. I am glad that when I was married that I bought this car. I do know of people that are in a lot worse shape than I am.

Yes, my family just spent $73 yesterday at the grocery store and it wasn't even that much. And it's supposed to get us through the week. And today, at the gas station down the street, gas was $2.72 this morning. I went there about 20 minutes ago, and it had spiked to $2.77 a gallon. I don't know how I am gonna make it through the week.

No I have not noticed. I only drive about 15-20 miles a day.
What I cant understand is people bitching for a nickel swing upwards on gasoline that costs them an extra dollar per tank, but they have no problem paying 5 bucks a day interest on their car loans to the bank..
Gas is still cheaper than beer!

i favor to seen reveal unit the Watters international area on the O'Reilly element. between the topic matters he frequently does on his spot is to ask people political questions and coach how little pastime optimal people pay to politics it really isn't any a lot. a large style of people haven't any theory who any of the Republican Presidential applicants attempting to oppose Obama are. They do recognize who Obama is. this autumn they're going to recognize the cost of each little project has gone up and Obama is the guy in value. This November frequently is the time even as Obama somewhat owns the monetary gadget.

yes, I had to give up my part time job. By the time I paid for gas to get there it was costing too much of my income to be viable. I loved this job. And now have to work closer to home.

Absolutely! I am a horse trainer by profession, so my vehicle is a Ford F-350 that gets a whopping 13.3mpg....getting harder to travel to shows to make money.....I think it is time that everyone starts pressuring our lawmakers to either pop the top on Alaska, or put more funding into researching alternative fuels....BTW we grow enough corn and soybeans to make all of the Bio Diesel fuel needed to end our foreign dependence on Arabian oil....wouldn't that be something....
