LOL, That's good.
The price of gas being so high is our own fault. It really is supply and demand. You see alot of Americans just don't understand. I'll exsplain in a nut shell. US jobs have and continue to be put overseas for the past decade, Now these 2nd world countries have employees who actually can afford to buy cars, motorcyles, lawnmowers, etc. These items take oil and or gasoline to run, thus more supply is needed. It cost $$ to supply more of the product, thus the prices go up. It's our own fault for sending jobs outside the USA in my opinion.

Not that is the REAL truth. If some Americans would just go out in the rest of the world and look at prices on stuff from houses to gas to cars then they would see exactly what you mean.

Still doesn't mean it can't be a shock and drain on us.... If you are used to paying that it would not be such a shock... For gas to double in price the way it has has some people thinking... That's all...

i do sympathise with all of you people.It must be a shock to have a 50% rise in fuel.But in saying that when you have cars that only do 15mpg then it's always going to hurt.I was stunned to see how many SUV's were on the road in just the little part of America i saw.If you had cars that did 40mpg+ then it wouldn't hurt so much i guess....but that won't happen for a good while yet......
Camp is right by the way...in England the average house price is now $290,000......try getting a mortgage on that when you are young and earning $9 an hour....
