Like, apparently, in the States at least, according to something I read in the Atlanta Business Journal, "...Charles Courtemanche, an economics professor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, recently published a study showing that a sustained $1 increase in the price of a gallon of gas results in a 10 percent drop in the nation’s obesity rate.
Americans who walk and bike more often and eat at restaurants less often will suffer fewer obesity-related diseases. Every $1 uptick in gas prices saves 11,000 lives and $11 billion in health-care costs annually."
Therefore if gas hits 27,000 dollars a gallon, we all live forever.
