We have to pass it on to our customers. It's difficult to cut back on driving this time of year. It's getting hard to function with the rising prices of energy. There is no real mass transit and in many cases no safe place to walk or bicycle. We are paying for the automobile in unimagined new ways.
Gas is just the tip of the iceberg.
I came to Connecticut on 35 cent gas. It went to 60 within a couple of months. Now it's almost two dollars. I still can't afford to leave. I'm still a stranded tourist after twenty three years.
