Maybe $8.00 gas is nothing to you, but I can't
remember getting a 50% increase in my wages in the last year. If you own a
small business like I do that constantly is being "rewarded" with higher cost
for all supplies, materials and parts as well as transportation costs then
it is a BIG deal!!! Fuel cost last year
was about 15% of my annual budget. With diesel now at $4.50/gal today it
is about 25% of my budget.
The rub to all FWDLKers or car nuts everywhere for
that matter, is how much more it now costs you to get that great dry rust free
southwestern collectible you just purchased from Arizona to
Pennsylvania. More of our great history and parts cars are simply going to
be crushed rather than transported as fuel gets even higher!!

I have to agree with
Neil, 4.00,5,6,7 even 8.00 gas is not that big of deal,,you have
to consider the inflation prices.. in 1957, 1.25 per hour was very good
wages in the Midwest. Most people
didn?t get that, most got 1.00 hr. gas was 29.9 per gallon. Do the
math, gas has gone up maybe 12-14 times over but look at wages, most
people now days are making 60-80K here in the Midwest? we are all
getting too excited over 4.00 gallon gas,, we have just been spoiled
with 1.00 gallon gas. We didn?t know what we had. Reality is, there is
nothing wrong with 5.00 gallon gas,, sure, we hate to pay it, but you cant
have rain without cloudy skies
