METLIFE: “.. A larger share of households, roughly 42% of them, reported that their financial situation was somewhat or significantly worse than it was one year ago.” (NY Fed data:)

Consumers are *really* bad at expressing their economic well-being, it's basically just whatever pump prices are. Which is why maximizing EV share of the vehicle fleet is so important for breaking the carbon political economy in the US. Any other solution is doomed.

That's so interesting. I'd expect the actual pain from food at home is more. Wonder if the diff is price at pump is something people interact with more often (#/week) and the price being so noticeable on boards. Your point of it being seen in a monthly electric payment would be interesting to see.
