Compare a gallon of gas to a gallon of milk, and you gain perspective. :)

Except that most people don't go through multiple gallons of milk a week. It's a bad analogy.

[chuckwalla]

you want perspective?
Imagine if a hostile country controlled most of the milk production and the environuts wouldn't let us milk any cows here.
Imagine MPEC paying the same for producing milk but cutting down to raise the price and since we can't do without it they charge $8.00 a gallon. Maybe $10.00 a gallon. They make an extra 2 billion.
Now where is your perspective?
Imagine milk storage companies here saying there is a shortage and adding $2.00 a gallon for a while, or a pipe broke and raising the price another $2.00/gallon?
