The Price of GAS
The popular mood is affected by the price of gasoline. People read and hear about expenses in the millions and billions without batting an eye but an increase of a few cents in the price of a gallon of gas conjures visions of a faulting economy, unemployment, large budget deficits, and inflation galore.
The price of milk also goes up but a few extra cents there are not readily noticeable in a total grocery bill in the fifties or higher. But the gas tank requires twelve to twenty gallons at a time. The higher price now becomes visible.
Particularly since it is posted on large signs at gas stations along your city driving route.The bad news are flashed every few blocks, begging you to watch for the dreaded 400 .
