Thank you for making my point for me. Of course some people would scream
about the prices if they had to buy 30 gallons of milk a week. The whining
about gas prices has nothing to do with cost of production, transport, etc.
and everything to do with just wanting it cheaper. If they bought that much
milk, they'd be screaming for the government to pass a law regulating milk
prices, and they don't really care about why these things cost what they do.
Nope. Give it to me cheaper, or I'm going to blame some conspiracy and
throw a tantrum. The relative cost of gas and milk has nothing to do with
how much we use of either one.

Now this cracks me up everytime someone brings this up...Do you use 30
gallons of milk a week? Of course not...if everyone did, they would be
screaming about milk prices...just not a realistic comparison, really...
Besides, just try to buy a gallon of anything else for what gas costs you.
Milk comes from a local dairy and requires very little processing compared
to gas, which is pumped up from a mile in the ground halfway around the
world, transported 10 or 12 thousand miles, and has to be expensively
processed before it is sold, but the milk still costs more. Why isn't
anyone yelling about the dairy industry price gouging. Heck, a gallon of
water costs quite a lot, and they don't do much of anything to that.
