Inflation.
Why doesn't an increase in aggregate demand translate directly into an increase in real GDP
The quantity of the the products bought tends to fluxuate a lot. The prices tend to stay somewhat stable. It is opposite for inelastic demand,
First, a quick discussion on elasticity of demand:When demand for an item is perfectly elastic, as prices increase the demand for the item decreasesWhen demand for an item is perfectly inelastic as prices increase the demand for the item does not changeIn the real world, few items are perfectly elastic or perfectly inelastic. Gasoline is an interesting item when it comes to elasticity. Gas is nearly perfectly inelastic at some levels of consumption because most people need to use it to get to work. This is starting to change however because as technology develops alternative fuels gas may become much more elastic. At some levels of consumption gas becomes elastic, for example if prices are too high some people will choose to skip a vacation soas not to consume gas.Now to explain elasticity of demand and taxes:When demand is perfectly inelastic, all of the tax will be passed on to the consumer.When demand is perfectly elastic, all of the tax will be passed on to the to the producer.So now to answer the question as to who would pay the larger burden of the tax. Right now (11/2009) gasoline is much more inelastic than it normally is (although it usually is still quite inelastic). For this reason, the majority of the tax on gasoline will be paid by the consumer.
Some of the products which are considered perfectly inelastic are rice, fish, meat, etc., or in short is our basic nessecities. These products are under the perfect competetive market structure that's why if the firms increase its price still, the consumers are tend to buy it cause they dont have other choice but its substitute goods.

An increase in interest rates decreases the aggregate demand shifting the curve to the left.

Increase. Inelastic demand means that most consumers will continue to buy a good regardless of price.
When a price increase has little or no effect on the demand for a product, it is inelastic.
You have an inelastic product.
An increase in aggregate demand and a decrease in aggregate supply will result in a shortage: there will be more goods and services demanded than that which is being produced.

a price increase does not have a significant impact on buying habits
Inelastic :)
