Angry Re: Better Get Use To This....

Ya it's crazy. Food is starting to creep up too. It's BS and it's happening all over the world. We are just starting to see the hikes in the US. Gas has been really high in Europe and other foreign countries for a while. If it spikes above $4.50/gl I will be buying an old Honda motorcycle to commute on.

Like a chain reaction....
Gas prices go up , everything else goes up......


Except for the middleclass workers pay....

Companies cut jobs...lower salaries....remove benefits etc.
to compensate for higher fuel costs / operating costs.

So its just not at the pump .... thats the least of the problems rising fuel costs create.

yup! that would be a perfect commuter. I already have a M1 license so All I need to do is just go find something cheap that runs. Wifey might not like the idea. I was thinking a 250cc up to a 600cc should be perfect.
