Where many others are only paying modestly higher prices for their crude oil and the fuels from it, we are paying significantly higher prices.

Yet everyone appears to be suffering from significantly higher food prices.

You won’t get an argument out of me on that. Food costs are being directly impacted by several factors... the largest being the manipulation of the food supply by the mandates for biofuels. Add to that the higher cost (in the US) of fuel to transport said food, and the crazy weather going on (flooding, failed crops, etc.)... They all add up to higher grocery costs. And for us in the US - a devalued dollar isn’t helping.
