Rising gas prices are beginning to affect consumer spending and sentiment, with the cost to fill a Ford F-150 now exceeding $100. This increase, from around $2.98 to over $4.40 per gallon, has led to reduced consumer spending on entertainment and travel. The trend is expected to worsen before improving, potentially impacting various companies and the broader economy.
