Does the price of gasoline going up .50 gallon effect you?

Of course that will raise the cost of getting goods to the stores which they will pass the cost to you.

It effects everyone, but some far more than others, obviously.

Personally? No significant effect whatsoever...but for many, it will be a disaster.

"affects"

AI sez:

Affect is usually a verb meaning to influence or produce a change in something (e.g., "The weather affected my mood"). Effect is usually a noun referring to the result or outcome of a change (e.g., "The medication had an immediate effect"). A helpful mnemonic is Affect = Action, Effect = End result.

So does Mondo.

Probably should have put it in quotation marks...

I "should of" "knowed" that.

Ain't it fun to see the King's English murdered routinely on a daily basis.

No. I switched to an EV about 4 years ago. It will affect the national economy.

Gas is a key part of our national economy. High prices will raise the cost of other stuff.

Did you thank Trump when his policies lowered gas prices in the past?

And if you gas up in Caliphonia, expect even higher prices...

Maybe gas will increase $20 per gallon.
