A 50-cent-per gallon increase in the price of gasoline amounts to just $5 for every 10 gallons, the average weekly per-vehicle consumption in the U.S., according to John S. Herold, a Norwalk, Conn.-based energy consultant.

What an idiot. Does he know realize every item we buy from a loaf of bread up will cost more because it costs more to get it to the consumers? If gas doubles, everything doubles. I'd like to know who uses a mere 10 gallons a week. It was $75 last week to fill up for us. This year, the kids are going to school on the bus and I've had to get a full time job close to home to make ends meet. Mr. M hasn't had a pay raise from the state in 18 years.

Mr. M hasn't had a pay raise from the state in 18 years.

After 2-3 years of no raises, I'd look for a new job. Why hasn't he?

What an idiot. Gas is not the total cost of the production of a loaf of bread. And I hate it when freepers call everyone an idiot all the time. The bible says that's murder.
