McCain was asked when the last time he pumped his own gas and how much did it cost? His reply:

McCAIN: Oh, I don’t remember. Now there’s Secret Service protection. But I’ve done it for many, many years. I don’t recall and frankly, I don’t see how it matters. I’ve had hundreds and hundreds of town hall meetings, many as short a time ago as yesterday. I communicate with the people and they communicate with me very effectively.

Sad to say it but that's how many, many folks with high end jobs in DC are when it comes to the real world.
They don't pump their own gas, they have drivers, so they don't even drive. They don't take buses or use the Metro (except for the restricted one for the Crapital Bldg)
If they notice the signs with the prices at the stations as they pass by, then maybe they'll know the current prices.
Or if an intern or staff person informs them before another "I can relate" speech.

This may sound silly, but I want a President who knows how much a gallon of milk or a dozen eggs cost.

At one of the town hall meetings we should have them play a little "Price Is Right".
