I learned this in school and even in grad school, too.  Problem is
sometimes profs and books forget to "input" the "government factor."  Only
recently, gasoline in CA went WAY up because the government decided we need
some fancy new gas for our cars.  The cost to make this gas is higher and
therefore the price has to go up.  Some of us will try to find ways to cut
back useage even more, but many times, people yell about it but accept it
as government interferrence that took place whether they liked it or not.
