I doubt that the service stations in Texas along the Mexico border are doing the same amount of business they were this time last year. Yesterday when I filled up my car I paid $2.39 a gallon. The fill-up was $46. The cost of gasoline is no longer a reason for the Mexicans to cross the border to fill up. Especially when you add $4.25 for tolls to cross the bridges.
This morning's Houston Chronicle had an article about how the rising prices are affecting people. It is already changing some things about our life styles and it will change more as it continues to rise. I worry about it, not for myself, but for my children and grandchildren. It seems simple on the surface but these are very complex economic and political issues that can bring huge change.
