The truth is hard, but its still the truth. Would it change things if
gas had kept up with inflation instead of jumping abruptly? Maybe,
maybe not.
By definition, those people with fixed incomes will not keep up with
inflation.

The price here has risen almost $1.00/gallon in just a short time. That
really hurts a lot of people, even though the cost may be relatively
cheaper than in the 70's when adjusted for inflation. The incomes for many
of those on fixed incomes hasn't kept up with inflation, BTW.

I've heard that adjusted for inflation, gas is cheaper now than during
the 70's.
