I'm not a huge fan of Dave Ramsey but I had a coworker who listened to him years and years ago - and I remember he made a good point about how everyone focused WAY too much on gas prices. "Remember when gas was $3 a gallon and you felt poor? Well it's a buck 25 now - do you feel rich?". (This was around 2008 iirc)

If we had giant signs showing the price of milk at every intersection people would focus inordinately on that too.
