Sure you do, gas is still cheaper. (so far), houses have dropped in price since they were so high two years ago due to the housing bubble. Check prices on other items and see if you can't find things which dropped. again, they're higher than they were last week, than last month, but not higher than they were at the end of the third quarter in 2008. They dropped then have been rising. but have not risen as high as they were back then. At least according to the government, so that makes it official. David the trusting REGARDING:

I suspect that this was done because fluctuations in both were predicted and someone knew that it would skew the index.

It will also affect where people choose to live, if it costs them a hundred dollars per week to commute to work from one location and costs ten from a second or a thousand from a third, we might live closer to work than we do when gas is cheap. It will affect where we choose to shop. If we can go 50 miles and save a dollar but lose it to the burnt gas, we may decide to shop locally more often. Cheap gas killed most local stores. Expensive gas would bring some of them back. It just takes a while to adjust. That's when the major moaning and groaning takes place. David for free energy yes, but we will realize there are things we don’t need to do and places we don’t need to go.
