$53.00. That is right $53.00. Last night I filled up - it cost $53.00. I am thinking of telling my boss I am adding a fuel surcharge to the cost of my employment.
I drive a mini-van, which is very economical, compared to most vehicles on the road today. So much so, that it is fast becoming the family car (up to now we have preferred to use the Silverado locally, with its heated seats and XM radio). I can tell she (my van is definitely a lady) really doesn't like it. I think she enjoys the quiet life, going back and forth to work, and the occasional stop for groceries. She is not the rebellious type, but I fear she may start giving me the silent treatment if things don't slow down.
A few days ago we were helping my college-aged son with his budgeting, and found he was spending 10% of his income this summer on gas. Imagine, it is costing him 10% of his pay to be employed (and that was about 20 cents a gallon ago)! What is the exponentially-rising price of fuel costing you?
