The trickle down effect can be substantial. Overall cost of everything will begin to rise simply because it costs more to transport. And so many things are oil related that it will have an overall impact on the economy before long.
Folks here are gonna feel the gas price first, then in heating oil, electric bills, etc. Consumer goods will take a few months, maybe. But since our incomes don't go up at the same time fuel costs do, higher costs will affect a lot of people very quickly--and they'll spend less on other things.
People like to point out that gas prices in Europe have been high for a long time, but those are largely due to taxes that in part pay for public transport. Not so here. And people don't realize that Europe just works differently than the US.
