Also, you got to look at it this way. Gas has been very stable in the coutry since the 1980's. There has been little uptick or inflation in it until about 2 years ago. I can recall my first job pumping gas, back in the early to mid 80's and gas ranged from 98 cents to $1.15 a gallon. It really got no higher than $1.25 until about 2006, then it jumped. Now compare other goods. My house in 1984 was sold for $55,000. I bought it 3 years ago for $280,000, that is more that a 500% increase in housing. Look at milk. In the mid 80's you could buy a gallon for 99 cents. Now it is about $4.00 a gallon, a 400% increase. Gas has just kind of caught up. Look at the price in Europe. Gas has been over $4.00 a gallon in many European states since the early 90's. There is not much that can be done. Unfortunately it is also increasing the price of everything else. Gone are my $80 a week grocery trips, they are now about $120. My utilities has steadily increased 20% over the past year. And there isn't really much you can do . ..
