Many people are also forgetting, Oil was over $100 a barrel in recent years, and we were not paying >$1.50L for fuel at the same time, nothing like it.
When oil was over 100 a barrel our dollar was also at parity. Also at that time fuel was hitting the same prices we see now.

Either way for personal use fuel price isn't that bad. It's more companies that use large amounts that will be hardest hit and that will hurt the consumer more then paying a little more feeling up the car.
