    Every time gas prices increase, the cost of everything upline increases (e.g. groceries, public transportation, electricity, etc.) adding to inflation and the already high cost of living in pura vida land. Of course, when petroleum is a government monopoly (along with electricity), the public is at the mercy of a government strung out with power.
