Folks selling million dollar toys will still be able to sell them.
Certainly, if you can buy a multi-million dollar yacht, the price of
oil isn't going to be a
factor. For those of us with middle class

are going to hurt the most - especially frivolous, expensive items
that are usually financed, like RVs.

Diesel is $3.40 a gallon down the street from me in southeastern
Washington State. I topped off my tank a couple of weeks ago when it
was $3.09.
