Bottom line, everything and I do mean everything, is already costing more and for the foreseeable future will continue to increase. There are some people who can just shrug it off and not make any changes to their plans. I am not one of those people.
You laugh because I'm different. I laugh because you're all the same. Copied from the back of the #16 supermodified.

You're spot on with that,I check mine everyday.
To add a twist to this thread by FB55,

To add to that, I spent most of my money racing, so I didn't save much, no 401k, not much in savings, all in toys, but I don't regret it, I have been to a lot of funerals and have yet to see a Brinks truck in the procession, we somehow manage on SS, and my wife didn't work, so I'm about it for income, but we're not poor by any means, but we watch what we do, and we've been a lot of places most people would never go, so it's not all bad, we have enough.
"Being old, isn't half as much fun, as getting there"! Ole Robert I!
In 2008 when gas went up to ~$4.50 per gallon around here, I closed ranks and stayed home for most of the Summer. The only track I hit was Hartford that year for it is 25 miles away. Everything else is a two hour drive / 110-120 miles - Butler, Kokomo, I-96.
This year the gas prices will make a dent in the wallet. With that I will hold my cards a little closer to my vest and maybe not venture out for the two hour back and forth drives every weekend, but I am still up for going out as much as I can. If I can hit Hartford, I'll hit Hartford. Heck, I might even default to Kalamazoo Speedway a few times this year.
Nice topic, '55. Everyone has an interest on high fuel prices - racing or not.
I just heard a good one, though: You can still get gas for under $2.00 at White Castle.

I can't say as I had ever experienced "food poisoning" in all my life, and to look at me, I've enjoyed a lot of food... but White Castle on Crawfordsville Rd nearly took me out at PRI last year...
Still waiting on the answer to how we are safer by paying more. Especially when a world leader is bombing nuke plants and threatening any interference with Nuclear missiles.
US is at DEF CON 3 and was at Def Con 2 for the first time since 1962
