While I don't drive enough for the price at the pump to significantly affect me, I believe we are just now beginning to see the overall effect. Every single thing we buy relies on crude. First it is flew or railed, sailed or trucked somewhere, all of which requires fuel, then it is further transported to retail locations. Not to mention all the businesses requiring fuel just to produce those items before transport... whether it's produced by a multinational corporation, or a farmer on a tractor. Even if the war ended today, the ramifications of these higher prices will last for a while, I am afraid.

you folks are lucky, the village down the road from us is paying 10.25 per gallon for gas. The village across the bay from them is out of fuel until the barge comes in next month after the ocean ice goes away.

Do people in those villages drive 34 to 50,000 miles a year?

We can't get our logs transported as the loggers are standing still until fuel comes down or prices goes up for logs.

I'm afraid it's going to get worse.
