Even if you don't drive - I don't - the cost of goods and services will go up as the price of fuel increases. As people spend more money on putting gas in their cars, they will spend less on eating out, shopping, entertainment which may cause those industries/businesses to earn less, lay off workers, close.



Unintended consequences indeed.
