uses 375 MILLION gallons of GASOLINE a DAY........multiply that by the amount of increase in price........

The price increases in Diesel, and Jet Fuel are even greater.....

Think of ALL the Freight Trains that use Diesel, and Semi Trucks that use Diesel. AND the amount of Jet Fuel used every day by the Airlines......

I predict that there will be a large number of Airlines that will be going bankrupt with the increased cost of fuel, and the drop off of people flying due to the general economy, (which is already occurring but not being reported)....... leading to fewer airlines, causing a monopoly. Maybe same in Railroads and Truck lines....
