Gas Prices!! OUCH!
#31
I drive a diesel pickup because I have a fifth wheel RV which I can no longer even afford to take out of the yard. My dream , I saved for all my working life. I filled up in central Nebraska this morning at $3.74! When I used to take my RV out my pickup got 9-10 mpg. That's an expensive vacation folks!! Remember when camping used to be the poor man's (woman's) vacation
I have some pretty strong opinions about this subject but since it is off topic for this forum, I'll keep it bottled up inside until I explode. LOL!

Until things settle down in the Middle East (yeah, right) you're going to see the high prices.
Here in SW Ontario, it shot up from $1.09 to $1.20 per litre overnight. *multiply by 4 to get per gallon, approx.

Do you think our government will ever get the message that this insane dependence on foreign oil is INSANE and must end?

And, of course, it effects EVERYTHING :thumbdown: Now, not only is there a shortage of cotton (hence higher prices there), but tranpsporting it is more expensive so we pay for that,
too :-( Of course, this applies to everything we buy because it's all transported from somewhere. It's getting grim.
