People will complain about gas prices so long as they feel entitled to gasoline and that they have no other options.

True, but not only the sense of entitlement, but there isn't a hotel or airline on every street corner with their price in big numbers for everyone to see and compare.
I don't remember seeing a thread about the public outcry that hotel rooms tend to cost more during higher demand days.
