The more you spend on gas, the less you have to spend on other items. The high price of gas slows the economy, therefore I see it as deflationary rather than inflationary.

My understanding is that the price level remained steady throughout the 19th century. If price levels are the measure of inflation/deflation, what is your take on why prices remained steady (if they did) in the 19th century, as opposed to what happened in the 20th century?

Thanks again.
