What you really have to consider is that now it takes more money to transport product, and that money has to be compensated via raising the price of the product you were transporting to stay on the profit margin. So your 70cent bananas will be 99cents now. Everything will go up in price, keeping pace with the current gas prices. Its a serious problem and an immediate solution is necessary.
