Despite the recent price rises of gasoline in the US, gas is still cheap if you consider inflation
Since increases in the price of oil are a big driver of inflation,isn't it a bit circular and misleading to then adjust gas prices for inflation?
Does anyone know what fraction of inflation over the last N years can be attributed to the price of oil?It would be interesting to see a constant-dollars plot of historical gas prices
corrected for the impact of oil prices on inflation.
