<p>[QUOTE="LA_Geezer, post: 3218653, member: 89393"]Gas today is far cheaper than it was 50 years ago... adjusted for inflation and incomes. There was a town that was in a constant state of gas wars about 150 miles from where I went to college. I made it a point to be running on empty whenever I was headed home at holidays so that I could take advantage of the prices there; they were usually 9¢ up to 11¢ while the rest of the state had normalized on about 32¢. The least I ever paid there was 6¢ per gallon. Even so, at an average of 32¢ per gallon — which was a fairly typical price east of the Mississippi then — it's not about the same today; I'd say it's comparatively cheap. Otherwise I'm with you, gas is the exception.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
