They're needs, qualified by kevingadd that rural life != dark ages.

By gas, I meant fuel for transportation. One simply cannot survive in a rural area without an automobile and the ability to use it.

Food, ironically is more expensive, and lower quality. I still haven't figured out why (other than market opportunism).

Internet, same as food, more expensive, and lower quality.

TV, I agree is not a necessity, but another example of a common expense that tends to be lower quality in rural areas when compared to urban areas.

OTOH, housing is generally cheaper.
