Problem is in the longer term you don’t just lose a couple of grands worth of travel.Your coffee costs more,groceries cost more as do everything else you need or want to buy, so the $2000 extra fuel cost flows on and quickly becomes $4-5000 extra per year,which may not be a concern to you,but I can assure you that increase in living costs knocks a lot of people around.
