It's not the average consumer...... it is the trucking industry that is consuming more.

This is a circle of loss.

Gas/oil prices come down...... people save money but spend more on products in stores. A bit more gas is used to go to the store..... and more trucking is required to re-stock the store.

That's why I try to buy local. I saved a ton of money this year by going to the farmer's market rather than Kroger. Much cheaper, much healthier, and the quality can't be compared.
