The plastic stuff uses petroleum in manufacturing, the manufacturers ship to the distributors who ship to the LHS-all done in vehicles that use fuel-so it will show up in the cost of out hobby products. I drive a mid sized pickup that gets about 19 mpg on the highway, my wife has a mid sized Mercury that gets about 30 mpg. She would like something newer and I would like to get better milage since I have to drive to see my customers. We're talking about getting her something newer, relegating the pick up to hauling lumber for the layout ;o), and me driving the little Merc for business. Might save a dime or two on fuel which would make me happy. Regular unleaded peaked at 2.67 per last week, currently at 2.52 here in Kansas City today.
