So it's increasing my wealth paying more for gas? Paying more for gas is meaningless in the context of the exchange. At the time you buy gas it cost a certain amount you might shop around and save a few pennies, but trying to buy gas for $2 is like trying to buy BRKA for a dollar a share. Its not possible anymore. The previous price is irrelevant to the current exchange. you don't understand the simple principle that a dollar spent is a dollar less of wealth, choice or not. A dollar given away is a dollar less wealth. A dollar traded for something that you value at at least one dollar isn't a loss of wealth. Yes you burn the gas, but if that isn't a transfer of wealth. If you get nothing from burning the gas its a straight destruction of wealth. If you value the use you put it to, its the use of wealth to get something you value. In this case a non-durable thing similar to going to see a movie paying for a nice vacation. You get some level of utility and/or enjoyment from the use of the gasoline.
