Of course, the price of things rise when gas goes up- produce that is carried on trucks goes up, milk, bread, etc.All prices go up, employees get paid the same so they can buy less. Prices rise, people get paid the same, they can afford less.Only thing that seems to remain stable are entertainment prices, seems like everyone can afford to have a good time.

It is hard to certain but it seems that gas price wil fall by a considerable amount by Christmas. The price of oil has dropped $50 a barrel in the last month. I would expect gas prices to drop by 75c to a dollar a gallon by Christmas.
The practice of tacking 9/10 of a cent on the end of a gas price goes back to when gas cost only pennies per gallon and was a tax imposed by state and federal governments. Gas stations added the fraction of a cent on the end of the price instead of rounding up the price.
The average price for gasoline in October 2004 was $1.99. The rise in gas prices has been steady for the past ten years.

The people must all unite and agree for an appropriate price and then we send a bill to the government and they decide for us.
Natural gas used to be much cheaper, but with rising oil prices its about on par with electric now. The price for gas will most likely continue to rise though. So, electricity is cheaper.
