It is TOTALLY affecting me! Gas here is 2.70/gal., which is, the highest EVER. Last summer the highest I paid was 2.13/gal. and I thought that was outrageous. Now, it's unreal. I do NOT drive unless I MUST. Gas prices are killing volunteer organizations...think about that...mom and pop denied Meals on Wheels due to ever higher gas prices and NObody is reimbursing---they all say, "suck it up"---a lot of us can't do that.

One of my buddies in Sweden told me the other day when we were talking about gas prices that he just laughs when Americans complain about gas prices. They're easily double what we pay

I'm happy he wins that contest. He can trump me on gas prices. I Hope he pays 10 times what I pay and enjoys the bragging rights. Crap, 100 times would work for me.
