tl;dr: we should be happy about today's gas prices because new cars you can't afford are more efficient and everyone's wages allegedly increased except yours

Your car doesn't get at least 23 mpg? If you're still driving a gas hog from before the last recession, that's on you. You knew a 2001 Ford F-150 got 16 MPG, but you wanted to wear balls on your truck, drink beer, and wear blue jeans.

And, yeah, the price for gas (and food) has been declining relative to income since the 60's. You should be pissed at Shell for buying cheap oil from Russia and jacking up the price at the first opportunity.
