Does it seem like the cost of milk is having a race with gas?

You are absolutely right. In fact, if you look at many items at the grocery store, and in particular, produce, the prices have gone up a ton over the past few years . . . by greater percentages than gas. But for whatever reason, we don't make a stink about it like we do petro.

Milk is more expensive then gas. Over $3.00 a gallon while gas is still under that but catching up. The question is, can you live without one? If ao, which one?

Milk and Gas! Gas is more important than milk! Without Gas, there will be no milk. I know is complicated, but gas is part of precipitation! Living things need precipitation to lived.

right now you need gas to deliver the milk to the store. Also with the use of ethanol the cows are competing with the autos for all that corn.

I know it's crazy
Here's an idea, quit paying farmers not to grow crops and there wouldn't be the issue of corn with ethnol and feeding the milking cows

Milk vs Gas? Why are you comparing milk to gas? they serve completely different purposes and the only relation between gas and milk is that they are both liquids. Comparing milk to gas is just as stupid as comparing gas to fingernail polish.
The reason for increase in gas prices is because of increase in demand of gas and decrease of supply in gas. Which means suppliers will have to increase the price of gas in order to slow or reverse the increase in demand of gas and slow or reverse the decrease in supply of gas while maximizing profit. Since the United States needs gas, it will be willing to pay high prices for it and suppliers take advantage of that.

Ya high demand and the cost of gas
effects it directly because of the
trucks that bring it to the stores.
