We live in one of the least expensive areas in the country for some reason. I just filled up yesterday and it was $3.14/gallon in SW Missouri. With both my husband and daughter driving large pick ups and my Mustang GT not being very fuel efficient we are dreading the prices going up this summer. Hubby is getting ready to ride the motorcycle to work to save some money even before it is really "motorcycle weather".
Hubby works in a farm & home store, they have recently raised the price of feed & grain twice because the cost of corn is going up hugely (corn makes ethanol). I think dog food companies will raise the cost of their food very soon, lots of dog foods have corn products and it will cost more to ship their food to the stores with the cost of gas going up.
