Thank you.

On 02/25/2015 the price of gas was $3.03/gal.
On (02/26/15), the price of gas is now $3.13/gal
On (02/27/15), the price of gas is now $3.19/gal
On (02/28/15), the price of gas is now $3.25/gal
Let's see, that's an $1.06/gal increase in 36 days.
$3.259/$2.199 = 1.482 increase if you want a budget item
As the lyric from an old show tune goes,
"nice work if you can get it, and you can get it if you try."

It is becoming much more easy to understand how the citizens are being
sold all of this "stuff" the government is selling.

Wrong again! A 138% increase, one hundred thirty eight percent increase
would be about $6.67. A 100% increase would be double.
The correct formula is 2.199 + 38% = 3.034

I think the % is a little more than 1.38, but then I am no
mathematician. Maybe that is the new math. I get 38% increase, but
again, I am an amateur.

Better try again, Lew.
3.039 - 2.199 = 0.84
0.84 / 2.199 = 0.38
G. Ross is right -- the increase is 38%.

No, that is actually a 1.06 increase....as you first indicated in the
sentence above the last. You are only talking dollars up to this point.
Now if you said a "1.482 "Percent"" increase, you would then be correct.
