Define regular folk then. I bet your definition isn't "the top 60% of a population".

There is overlap, but there is also a large portion of regular people that do not hold stock in oil companies.

I mean, when the figures are 60%-40% you (generic you) can totally use any of them to make a point about "regular folks" because the absolute number is already so big to have a weight behind.

And going back to the original topic, these figures should help us realize two things that are both true:

1. a big part of the population is gaining from the gas price raising via funds growth.

2. a big part of the population, the one with less resources already, just pay the consequences of the gas raises because they don't own funds at all, so they cannot reap any growth there.
