No one has mentioned the fact that higher gas prices mean higher prices for all sorts of things, including food. Sure it may be only a few pennies per item, but it all adds up. Not only do low income people get hit at the gas pump, they get hit at the grocery store, too. The repercussions of the mounting cost of gas are being felt all through the economy, and, as usual, the poor are feeling the brunt of it. That's not their imagination but economic fact.
