I will drive what I want to drive, regardless of the cost of gas.
Crude oil has gone from 40 dollars a barrel 8 months ago to over 66 dollars a barrel today.
Your cost has only gone up what maybe 50 cents in the same timeline?
(a barrel is 42 gallons) |
Yea, but that 66 dollars a barrel is for delivery of oil in september... not the current gas that's "on the shelves" now.
However.... to reliaze that the price of gas does not just affect you when you go to the pump. It affects EVERYTHING! From the price of the beer you (or more importantly I) buy, to the cost to have your packaged delivered. One way or another business have to pass on these higher fuel cost to you. The trucking companies asorb some, the retailers asorb some, but they can only take so much.
Of course, that's not a rant agasint you Spire... unless your that bastard that is selling the oil at $66 a barrel... in which case... YOU OWE ME BIG TIME!!  |
