The problem is ...


That it is about $1.50 per gallon more now than it was 14 months ago. So your 14 gallon tank now costs $21 more every single time you fill it and it is getting worse. Not to mention you are paying about $110 for the same groceries you paid $100 for a year ago. And plane tickets are more expensive and hotels and literally everything else that wasn't a fixed cost.

I don't shop around for gas either - if I happen to be at Costco and the lines aren't miserable, I will fill up there. But those that think rising gas prices aren't a problem (not saying you are one of those people) don't have a clue - they are a massive problem for all of us.
