Now in 2008 I would say it has a tremendous impact... severe, no... wrong choice of words...
chemist74 Champion Author Cleveland Posts:13,510 Points:2,395,980 Joined:Apr 2005	Message Posted: Jul 11, 2008 10:48:07 AM Ignore chemist74 Report Abuse Severe - The cost of almost everything is impacted by fuel prices. Combining the impact of higher fuel prices with the credit/housing problems essentially insures a major/long recession.
gasisoutrageous Champion Author Lansing Posts:8,580 Points:925,105 Joined:May 2008	Message Posted: Jul 11, 2008 5:09:33 AM Ignore gasisoutrageous Report Abuse For lack of a better word, a severe effect on the economy- at least in 2008. The high cost of oil is effecting every aspect of our lives- flying, driving, sporting events, groceries; you name a product to buy, and there's a good chance gas is driving its cost up. The high price of oil is even trickling down to even that bowl of cereal in the morning. I am so sick of these soaring prices.

pizazz Champion Author Columbus Posts:1,963 Points:66,100 Joined:Mar 2005	Message Posted: Mar 31, 2008 1:51:11 PM Ignore pizazz Report Abuse I'd say severe. Independent truckers are going bankrupt. A family who delivered farm eggs and milk closed their business due to grocers underselling the independents and fuel costs increases. His family had owned the business for 48 yrs. Wonder if China can do that job too? Probably, since eggs are sold up to 6 mo old. I've forgotten what a really fresh egg tastes like but I remember them being a lot better, colorful and don't spread all over the skillet.

It's the old "snowball" effect.
