Here's the issue... there is plenty of evidence that your's is the incorrect conclusion. In fact, there is lots of data with which you could test your hypothesis... https://www.gasbuddy.com/Charts

Gas prices are a perfect example of how our emotional experience of reality differs from the objective measures.
