AGE OF ELECTRIC

Re Inflation Rate Hits 4.4%, Fuelled By Gas Prices, Housing Costs (Report on Business, Oct. 21): Even at $1.489 per litre, I’m spending less on gas than I did before the pandemic.

My last car used 12 L to go 100 kilometres; my current one only uses 8 L per 100 km. My next car will be a hybrid getting 3 L per 100 km, and the one after that (when charging stations are ubiquitous) will be electric.

The price of gasoline will soon have no relevance to the inflation rate.
