It's about $3.65 a gallon now here in northeastern NJ. I've been noticing it's going up about 10 cents a week. I'm trying to cut back on driving so I only have to fill up every other week, but that's hard. It costs me about $60 now to fill up.
And it affects everything: Airlines charge more now to offset. Mass transit has gone up now to offset. Hotels have gone up to offset the drop in business cos people are traveling less. Anything You buy has gone up to offset the cost of trucking the merchandise to the retailers (hello FOOD prices!).
This has gotten wayyyyy out of hand. Something needs to be done. I guess none of it should come as a suprrise with two oil barons in the White House for the past 8 years...
