Your gonna feel the gas prices yourself. Riding public transportion they have to get their fuel from somewhere and it will get to a point where they 'pass the buck' so to speak and charge higher transport fees or rase city taxes to cover the higher costs. This is why I said EVERYONE will be affected. Even if you walk or ride a bike everywhere unless your 100% self sustaning and never purchase anything. Then of course you wouldnt be affected. But groceries will go up as it costs more to farm the food and transport the food from field to store. Consumer goods will go up as raw parts cost more to cover suppliers shipping costs and the companies will just pass the buck. So it not only costs you more to go to the store but the products themselves are higher in cost. Wages will lag behind such inflation levels.
