One of these days we will be forced to leave the car at home, the fuel price has been increasing almost every week. This week it increased again!! It has increased 36 times and the year hasn't finished yet. We need to think first if it is really necessary to take the car off the garage. Is the fuel price increasing in your place?

Fuel and everything else just keeps going up and up. I'm at a loss at how to cut corners and budget

I guess, we are going to consume a little less to make up for the difference

@nela13 Our prices are going up because there aren't enough truckers to move goods.

@just4him here truckers say they send more in fuel to move goods, so goods prices will increase. It is madness!

It is awful, and all the essential goods will increase here as well due to the fuel price.

Inflation is in full swing here. They never needed an excuse to raise gas prices. They just did it because they could.

Yes, it is up. I want for our next car to be electric. It is a lot cheaper to power an EV than to put gas in the tank.

@nela13 While EVs are not without their issues, it is impossible for humanity to continue on its current path without causing wholesale planetary disaster. EVs can get greener and cleaner; gas-powered cars simply cannot.

Electric cars have the battery problem, their batteries are highly polluting and when their lifespan comes to an end there will be problems where they will put so many batteries.

@wilsongoddard I hope so, but we must be aware that electric cars also have many disadvantages for the planet. I think they need to find a solution as fast as possible.

They are saying that this increase on fuel will influence the price of all the other goods, it seem everything will cost more soon.

If the bus can be an alternative then it's better to use it.
