Some people don't seem to understand that the high price of fuel affects us all.

We all are well aware that filling up the gas tank is more expensive than ever. It's out of hand, and it's causing a lot of concern for most of us. Of course, there are other concerns, the price of food and other necessary items for living.
I didn't realize that some people also do not connect that the higher the price for fuel for cars and trucks, the higher the price of goods. Your food costs climb, anything anywhere that is hauled by a vehicle that uses fuel, is going up every time the price of the fuel goes up.
I've lately heard or read that people say things like ''it doesn't affect me, I don't drive and don't have a car.'' Umm...yes it does affect you. It affects everyone. Everything that relies on being transported as well as shipped in any way will go up.
The gas thing is still so unreal to so many. I had to fill up today, and of course it was even more than last time. The guy across from me put $20 in his truck. He looked at me and said that it wasn't even 5 gallons of gas.
I knew just how he felt.

I drive a small SUV--a Hyundai. I put $66 in it today to fill it up, and it wasn't on E yet! This is insane. I am as frugal as I can be, and I know other people are as well. But....just....WOW.

In my opinion, some individuals lack a proper understanding of the subject matter. They often show carelessness and feel entitled to share their opinions without considering the potential consequences. This attitude reflects a certain arrogance in their ignorance of specific issues.

I do the same thing, Judy. I consolidate everything I can in one trip, so as to save gas and miles.

Just now
Some people don't bother to think things through, or even think at all it would seem.
