Is the demand for gas kinked at $4?
Gasoline prices soared again Thursday in Charlotte and across the country, and motorists were grumbling again at the pumps.
But it appears as if $4 a gallon might be the point where the price of fuel makes a major difference in our lives.
"This is too much," a woman, identifying herself only as Rachel, said Thursday afternoon as she pumped gas into her minivan at the BP station in the Plantation Market shopping center in southeast Mecklenburg County. "It's enough to make me consider taking the bus ... or riding a bike."
There is more anecdotal evidence in the rest of the story to suggest a kink.
