I don't post much, but this has been the subject of conversation at my work and I thought I would pass on some thoughts. It isn't just the price of the gas. It is everything combined with ownership (slip, maint, ins, reg, etc) But, more than that, common folk are paying more for just about everything in life (gas, food , real estate taxes, health insurance, etc. ) I work for a medium size city in Mass. In the past couple years, health insurance costs have jumped big time, with 23% and 17% increases. My real estate taxes have jumped also. In my town , if your kids want to play sports in school, it now costs as much as a grand. So, i believe that the slower economy, the lack of funding for cities and towns, schools, has now caught up and your seeing the effects.....
