They are directly linked. If we assume the amount of gas you must purchase is fixed and gas prices go up 50 percent, that translates into real dollars. I spend about $50 more per gas monthly right now than I did a year or so ago, and that money has to directly come from somewhere. There's only so much in the pie. In that regard, decisions on spending more money to go out to eat are directly link to gas prices.
