Economy, gas prices taking toll
The situation with gas prices bouncing around four bucks a gallon and higher has put a serious crimp in many resident’s summer vacation plans. It’s also cutting into other aspects of Albemarle living. People are cutting back on other needs to makeup for the cost of fuel. These and other factors are affecting the national and local economy, with consumers paying higher prices for food and other products and services. I’m wondering if anyone wants to share their stories on coping with high fuel and product costs or unemployment. I know most people are feeling some impact from the current gasoline-economic crunch. Please share your experiences with me and our readers. You are not alone.
