I hate paying 3.40 a gallon and I drive nearly 40,000 miles a year so I feel the pinch more than most. However, until the public (me included) is willing to get rid of V8 trucks, SUVs, mustangs, etc then we really have no right to complain about it.
Our prices however high they are is still MUCH lower than most the rest of the world, which includes Canada and the funny thing is the USA buy more oil from Canada than anyone else in the world.
I think that estimate of 5-10K is on the high side. I am a home owner and our property taxes have went up, utilities have went up. But food is not up 30%, and yearly expenses are not up 10,000. That is WAY off.

Thanks, Bob.Nice pick up Tim
We mainly drive our 05 Malibu now since it get about 30mpg but i'm thinking of adding a Diesel to the fleet...maybe a VW
It's quite a nice little ride, actually.
Maybe its off for where you live but it is dead accurate for us in the Northeast...and fruits/vegetables are up 30% and more because they are directly related to fuel prices...We keep records of all our expenses and have seen the increases in our daily life and can pin point where and when things have went up. Everything went up with the fuel rise including CEO's stock options.

"Whaaaaaahhhh.. It's sooo expensive to get oil.... We need to raise prices... Whoops, we just made $40 billion dollars.. Oh well.."
The problem is that until it *really* starts to effect the economy (complaining doesn't count) then the government won't do anything to stop price gouging. That's part of the freedom we enjoy.. Have to take the good with the bad..

But, there in lies the problem, while some fat A$$ politician and ceo can sit on an annual paycheck of 100's of millions of dollars while your average family, or single guy/girl is getting a$$ raped with a square D$$K wraped in sandpaper, of course nothing will ever get done, because the guys that have the power to change this are taking a nice paycheck in there side pocket to keep it going,... The more s**T changes the more it stays the same !!
