Those big F-series trucks,, Hummers, Expeditions and the like, suck. I mean it. The rate at which they consume gas should be against the law. Their demand for gas drives the supply.Yep thats what people with money drive. The rising cost of gas does not affect them yet. Who it does affect is the average joe that goes to work every day and must decide between food,job or to go on vacation somewhere. Guess mbs tourisem rates will be falling more. Less income and noise for the area.

I do admit the hiked prices of gas, which was fueled by panic, will have serious adverse reactions to the seasonally employed residents who have just been laid-off, or will be laid-off very shortly. It will be hard to look for work while rationing the gas in the fuel tank.
The holidays will be upon us soon and there will be some openings for those stores that take on additional employees to assist the holiday shoppers.
I personally don't think that the holiday season will be good. People just don't have as much disposable income as years past. The near future is uncertain and people will demand lower prices to shop frugally. Just after Halloween, I look for holiday sales to start from stores wanting to capture the early shopping dollars. People will begin shopping earlier to spread their money out.
My sister-in-law is finished with her holiday shopping already. She's just waiting for the wrapping paper, ribbons and bows to arrive at Dollar General. Her tree, lights and decorations are those that she purchased on clearance, in years past.
I hope things will get better. Tourism is needed here, but I don't think we should sacrifice our homes and communities to those tourists that give our town a black eye.

These gas stations must be receiving new gas shipments daily to keep passing the increases to us daily??---Or are they just raising pricing on their existing gas in their storage tanks???? PEOPLE LETS THIS STRAIGHT----I will be coming down soon to put gas in my 400hp Checkmate and don't want to pay gouging prices, as the tank holds 30 gallons. Here in NY, I would have to mortage my home to fill the tank. HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH THIS ONE!!!
