I'd imagine the amount of higher costs would be insufficient to deter people from heading away on their yearly trip... demand for holidays wouldn't respond too much to small input prices like fuel costs (the highest cost is always going to be the opportunity cost of not working!), and if you're wealthy enough to own a holiday home on the coast the likelihood is that an additional couple of hundred to get there and back won't worry you too much.
with luck petrol will get to $2.50 a litre and the bus companies wont need council subsidies to prop them up and I can get out of 3rd gear (on a good day) on the wat to work.[}:)]
Show me a commodity that is not affected by increase in oil price....perhaps the vegs in your garden...no, even the seeds have a transport cost....Quote:
