Well, my point is that if gas is $2 a gallon, then each $10 bill is, in essence, a coupon for 5 gallons of gas. In fact, a $10 bill is a coupon for everything that costs $10. That's the point. That's why it's *money*.
Yes, if the cost of gas goes up then the $10 is worth less, but if I was putting down actual silver or gold for the gas, then I'd have to put down a little bit more when the price rises so it's not like you gain anything from this.
