So I take it that $3.00 per gallon gasoline will cause you to lose your house and starve to death?
In 1969 I was making $1.00 per hour and I could buy three gallons of gas with one hour's pay.
Today I can buy seven gallons of gas for one hour's pay.
Explain to me again how bad things are.
I'm paying $5 a gallon when I fill up in Canada. (5 litres)= 1.10 Imperial gallon). A US gallon is only 3.79 liters.
