It is around $3.05 here in Texas. That is higher than Post-Katrina nd Post-Rita Hurricane days when it was around $2.99 a gallon. It will probably go to $3.40 before it will go down to $2.70 again.
But you know what?? If the price of gas was $7.00 a gallon, 90% of us would still drive the same amount that we did when the price per gallon was $1.50. We will bitch about it, but we will still drive like crazy. We will still buy gas guzzling SUV's or trucks.
We would just cut back in other ways. Where we WOULD feel the pinch is in the prices that we have to pay for groceries and other items due to the higher cost of shipping.
