Hi Stephen! Adjusted for inflation gas and diesel are not as expensive as they have been in the past against other goods and services. The larger issue which no one wants to touch is that most people's wages have not kept up with general price increases, gas and diesel being a very visible part of this. It seems to me that our standard of living is less than half of what it was at its peak. Of course, that's just my opinion. What, only 25% of US citizens have a comfortable financial position nowadays? -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
