We don't really have much choice unless we give up driving + riding...I think if gas today at $5/gallon (Los Angeles) we still fill it up....but V8 vehicles already depreciate in price.

I'm in LA, and price been going up. It was 3.70 two weeks ago & now 3.89 for 87 unleaded. 91 unleaded already at 4.15/gallon....

Seems gas, there ain't competition...one goes up, all goes up.

Yeah...best we can do here is fill up at Costco. Maybe $0.10/gallon cheaper at gas station.

I buy most of my home fix household expenses at Costco. But once freight goes up, prices goes up. I use to buy a bag of coffee for $9, about 18month ago. Last time I saw price at $16/bag...

So gas price really relates to everything you buy at the supermarket....

Oh...hey guys & girls...need your vote for this months ROTM

Guess what that feels like in the pocket of who is turning the wheels... Just paid a 848€ fuel bill yesterday... The freight goes up, the prices go up, the pay stays the same... meat straight off your bread...

Yeah, cost of living & expenses to keep a home or business have gone up...but income is same? That's not a good equation...

The overall payment consists from time, miles and overall hauled amount, and on top of that there`s the fuel-extra, although it is always late from the current situation, and doesn`t cover full costs, especially when I have a pretty big engine for the job...
