Gas prices are climbing everywhere, and this segment turns into a live, city-by-city comparison of what people are actually paying at the pump right now, with numbers coming in that are hard to believe.

From there the conversation moves to cars, breaking down how stretching a loan from four years to eight or ten quietly changes what a vehicle really costs by the time it's paid off.

Underneath all of it is a bigger shift, as the conversation turns to whether the cost of everything has pushed people past frustration and into actually changing how they live.

Topics: gas prices, cost of living, car financing terms, rising vehicle costs, cost of driving
