No one NEEDS gas to get to work or maintain life, either, if they make the proper choices early on...

...but we're a spoiled lot.

Gas is definitely worse!!!!!!

Everyone can make their own coffee, not everyone lives close enough to work and groceries to be able to walk.

It's true. Everything gets shipped somehow. And to make matters worse, they're using corn for fuel now and the consequence is higher prices on corn and other grains, which are fed to people and animals, so the cost of meat is going up and the cost of milk will too because it comes from cows who eat the grains.... Where does it end?

Do we call that “self interest”?

Since today we are continually asked to serve ourselves at the pump, my guess would be that it is "self-serving".

I brew coffee everyday, at home and drink 1 to 2 pots daily. I wouldn't pay $4.00 for a cup of coffee. That's half the price for a 3 pound can of coffee.
