It is a problem exacerbated by being on a 'gold standard.' Most non-business transactions should be in CP (or barter).
It seems to me that rarity never quite worked in non-magic situations in D&D. It seems to me that there needs to be a step lower than 'common goods' and prices are set lower, with some variation depending on factors like famine, and what is very common in rural areas.
I do like the idea of rules of supporting a certain lifestyle so that we don't have to micromanage how many beers and pickled eggs adventurers are consuming - unless being near penniless is part of the campaign. I am currently in such a campaign and, the lack of D&D average gold really impacts what spells you can cast.
