Procter & Gamble reported a 3% sales increase in the latest quarter despite economic pressures, highlighting that rising gas prices are causing consumers to opt for smaller pack sizes and seek promotions. The company noted a split in consumer behavior, with wealthier households continuing to buy larger packs while more pressured consumers adjust spending due to higher fuel costs.
