Oouch! I filled a 5 gallon can for the tractor and paid 20 bucks! How can the bell man and housekeepers get to work and still eat, a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk 8.00! It's killin America to ship our dollars to Argentina, China, India, and the middle East
Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

Milk: 3.40
Bread: 1.20
Beer: still cheaper three gallons of gas OR milk!

these prices are not sustainable. People will start cutting back and the supply will exceed the demand. (according to adam smith)
I have no idea who Adam Smith is, but China will increase it gasoline consumption by 24.7% by 2010 and India's consumption is up by 15% this year.
The demand is increasing, so expect to look back at $4 a gallon as "the good old days"
Used to mow the two fields closest to the place, now just the yard, and not a much as I used to.
Would move to town if I can find a place, that accepts pets. Not many like having a person with 4 cats move in. There is no way I'm moving without them.
Also what stops me is not many places have a large Garage, most are so small that with my tool box in there I would have trouble just putting one Motorcycle in there. Right now I have a Huge 2 car that is extra long, leaving room to work in front of a car parked in there.
Can say for a fact price of gas is guiding me now. Stay home much more, take most direct route to and from work. Will save some notw that the weather is nicer. Riding my Motorcycle, but by weelend fun rides have come to an abrupt stop.

Yep I'd say gas prices are making a pretty big effect on my life. Although it doesn't have to really yet. It's my choice, more like bracing myself for the future and "worst case".

If your really a "Brit" it's hard to believe you don't know who Adam Smith isquote:Originally by Wikipedia
Adam Smith (baptised June 16, 1723 - July 17, 1790 [OS: June 5, 1723 - July 17, 1790]) was a Scottish moral philosopher and a pioneering political economist. One of the key figures of the intellectual movement known as the Scottish Enlightenment, he is known primarily as the author of two treatises: The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759), and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776). Smith is also known for his explanation of how rational self-interest and competition, operating in a social framework which ultimately depends on adherence to moral obligations, can lead to economic well-being and prosperity. His work helped to create the modern academic discipline of economics and provided one of the best-known rationales for free trade. He is widely acknowledged as the "father of economics".[1]
Smith entered the University of Glasgow when he was fourteen and studied moral philosophy under Francis Hutcheson, where he developed his passion for liberty, reason, and free speech. In 1740, Smith left the University of Glasgow to attend Balliol College, Oxford.
The Wealth of Nations is Smith's magnum opus, and is considered to be one of the most influential books ever written.
