Typical car gets what, 25 miles per gallon? And average household drives what, 1,000 miles per month per car? So 40 gallons a month per car, typical family has two cars.

So 80 gallons, and if prices increase $0.50 per gallon, that's an extra $40 worth of gas per family. Not ideal, but not really budget breaking either.

The problem is it will affect everything you buy-especially food. THat will increase costs across the board.
