I don't get everyone bitching about "gas prices".  Whether you're spending $25 on a tank at $2/gal or $50 on a tank at $4/gal, the difference isn't really that much.  Certainly not enough to freak out about the way some people do.  Unless it goes up to $300 a tank or something, who cares?

It's plenty big if you're on a fixed income, especially if you're having to also deal with increased costs for other essentials (food, heating, etc...).

It could easily be an additional 3k per year that you can't allocate to something else

  One of the stupidest comments I've read on this board, and that's saying a lot.

Yeah lets all jump for joy becuase we pay more for everything. I mean I was only gonna spend that extra cash on my family, nothing that important.

You're not just paying more at the pump...you're paying more for just about everything else.  Sure, a $2 dollar increase per gallon of gas at your personal expense may cause you to trim your budget a bit, but consider this:

Notice the price of milk?  Food?  Other goods?  It takes TRUCKS to deliver them from the warehouses to the shelves.  You can scream, bitch, and holler at everyone to consume less gas, but the trucks that deliver essential(and non-essential) goods to our shelves can NOT consume less......we need food, milk, and clothing. 

It doesn't help that the average consumer is laden with debt.  98% of the personal vehicles on the road are not owned by the driver.  The Dollar is being rejected.  Gold and Silver are reaching record highs.

But yet, our foreign aid certainly is not decreasing.  Israel, followed by the Saudis, receive more than generous amounts of money and military equipment.  It's time we stop feeding their mouths and start feeding our own.

I agree.  This is bigger than the price at the pump . . . although I felt like cussing after paying $60 to fill up my tank yesterday.   >:(
