Paul KrugmanIt's Thanksgiving weekend. I'm not driving, but many Americans are, confronting gasoline prices that ... aren't all that high 1/
Taking the historical perspective, here's the gas price relative to wages, which is higher than 2014-2020, but not in a longer-term view 2/
And as some have pointed out to me, mileage has risen a lot over time, so the actual cost of driving isn't especially high at all 3/
Sam Coradetti@pkrugman It would be interesting to see this broken down for Dems, Reps, and Ints. A lot of liberals like me pay a premium to live close enough to work to not have to drive, and when we do drive, we drive hybirds or electrics now. So we have another bifurcation of American life there.
