At the height of the gas prices I paid $8.00 per gallon of diesel for several weeks (some drunk asshole totaled my other non-diesel vehicle) so I felt what truck drivers felt. It should be no surprise that when gas doubles, everything that is carried on those trucks goes up in price. When the truck is carrying super cheap items, the price of those super cheap items is roughly double. Transportation cost of expensive and small things aren't affected as much because the price of gas was already a smaller percentage of the overall price. Large items, like RVs saw a roughly $4k markup (in CA) because they literally drive each one from Indiana. Not to mention everyone is buying them because they are alternatives to expensive homes now. We really need to get off gasoline and encourage people to build. Messing with inflation with the feds "only tool" is fucking idiotic.
