Not Just High Gasoline Prices Folks

It’s not just a matter of the price of gas.
Some days ago I read a blog where the writer was saying that people should just get used to the higher price of oil. So what if it cost’s $25.00 dollars more to go see grandma.
I believe a lot of people are missing the point about how deeply the price of oil is going to change our lives.
Gasoline is only a small portion of what petroleum is used for.
There is nothing that you use as a rule that is not connected with oil. From the food that you buy to the medicine you get at the pharmacy. Every modern thing we as Americans have taken for granted is based on petroleum.
As the price of Oil increases so will the cost of not only transportation of items made with oil but the price of manufacturing these items. Items such as paint, glue, solvents, chemicals, plastic, rubber, fertilizer, and bug spray, as example.
If it is part of our everyday life in the United States it’s based on oil.
Get ready folks we are all in for a wild time.
