How is this going to affect our economy?
Prices have risen over ten cents a gallon just in the last week. What if this trend continues? Then there''s the effect on the prices at our grocery stores and Target and Walmart, where they ship a lot of their goods a long distance.
So I''m asking, should I be freaking out? It hasn''t made me drive any less, but the extra $ going towards gas does mean less for other things. Thankfully right now it''s just taking away from discretionary purchases, but if everything gets more expensive, it could be bad.
