>> Gas hasn't doubled in price (or nearly so) in SEVEN YEARS.In that time, some things have gone up in price and others down. The United Nations Conference on Trade & Development pointed out that in June 2008 world food prices had doubled in just three years, with an 85 percent increase from 2007 to 2008. They explained no single factor was responsible.
