Yes, I understand what you say. I am just feeling the pinch more because I live in an area where there is little or no public transport and so a car is essential for everyday (traveling to work, shopping etc) so on top of high prices for food I begrudge having to pay high price for getting there to buy it!
I have visited the States a few times in the past and understand what you mean re public transportation etc. The sheer size of your country is awesome!
