The effects of high gas prices

everything, from transportation to food, to shopping items and even shelter. because of the increasing price of petrol everything seem to follow. businesses are increasing the price of their products and drivers are increasing the transport cost. even crops are increasing their prices and rice prices are also rocketing high.

It's causing a lot of things to go up. The price of food is going up, the cost of living, delivery charges are going up, stamps are getting ready to go up again in a couple weeks. But yet, I can almost guarantee that none of us are getting raises like the price of gas. Frankly, i think it's pretty bad when I have pretty much stopped driving because of the price of gas. I'm in college, and most of the places I need to go are within biking distance for me, but that's not the point. My car is gass efficient, but it doesn't look like it when I'm putting almost 50.00 in the car to fill it up....something that was costing me only 30 before. I wish gas would go down, but they are saying it's just going to keep going up.
