A buddy of mine, in Calgary, is complaining about gas prices, I think he said they are in the mid 180s.....he drives a Ram TRX  ::) I told him I would swap his straight across for my very fuel efficient Tundra  ;D

Nobody forced him to buy that $130 000 gas guzzling truck that he probably uses as a mall crawler.

No, but damn does it sound good when you get on the loud pedal.

I'm sure it does. 

For what it's worth, I haven't complained one single time about high gas prices...

Literally, the only thing that truck has going for it.

Neither have I. I just find it funny someone with a 700hp, V8 supercharged pickup didn't think that it would be that expensive to drive to work.

I'm not a fan, but it does sound freaking awesome. He got it as the Raptor R was too far away and they wanted dealer markup on it.

These high gas prices certainly don't impact us that much, but we drive all fuel efficient 4 bangers and between 3 vehicles we might drive 25,000kms per year.

What will hurt is literally every other thing we consume will be impacted by the price of fuel and hence another big inflation period is probably upon us.  Doesn't help that both me and my wife are at the top of our pay range with only two 1% cost of living increases per year for the next few.  Our buying power is being eroded.

Thats what ticks me off about higher prices, it affects everyone even if you take rollerblades to work.
