On June 9th, the National average for gas prices per gallon hit the $4.00 mark. This all-time high came as no surprise to most of us. Does this concern you? Are you worried about the gas crisis? Bloggers on Lockergnome have been discussing this for several weeks. Let’s look at what some of them have had to say.

Around where I live it is starting to look like a used car lot. By the shopping centers you immediately notice the Suburbans, Pick up trucks and other gas guzzlers with for sale signs affixed. Pricing is surprisingly low for these road warriors that guzzle gas like an alcoholic guzzles booze. Rumor has it that the car dealers don’t want the big boys unless they come with their own oil well.

Not only has the cost of car gasoline hiked up, everything has hiked up as a result. Food is more expensive. Utilities are more expensive. The price of everything is climbing, and many people are barely keeping their heads above water financially. Many more have already sunk, before they really even had a chance to grab for a life jacket.

One of my clients called with a computer problem that I determined to be a hard disk failure. I gave them a price for a new hard disk plus my labor and waited for their decision. I got a call stating that they would have to wait for the repair, since the price of gas and food was cutting into their budget.

I won’t even bother to ask if the gas crisis is hitting you where it hurts. I know it is. It’s affecting us all. What are your thoughts and comments about the alarming rate the economy is slowing down, prices are continuing to climb, and the job market is staying the same?
