True.

Still though, in the last few years gas has about tripled or so in price over here and it's almost certainly going to keep going higher. It's all relative. It doesn't affect me but I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that make enough money and I don't drive particularly much. I'm almost always within 5-10 miles or so from where I live. Somebody who was already struggling to begin with and drives a lot probably doesn't take much comfort in the fact that gas has always been much more expensive in most of the world.
