Answer 3

GAS!!!!!!!!!! It takes 220 gallons to fill up his tractor-trailer rig, which gets a little more than six miles per gallon on the road. It costs Gares up to $1,400 to fill up, with the added cost of fuel additives to boost his truck's mileage. He said he has to absorb the increases to stay competitive

Answer 4

Gas is cheaper than milk in our area.   I think we should protest milk prices while we are at it. (smile)

Here is a website with some interesting information concerning food prices.  I am as concerned about those prices as I am about the gas prices... but I'm not serious enough to start a hunger strike or become a socialist.
