We all bitch about the price of gas, but it is like 22 ammunition. It hasn't gone up with the cost of everything else, when we see $3.50/gal when we used to buy it at $.32/gal. If you figure out how much time you had to work to buy a gallon of gas in 1970 when it was $.32 vs how much time it takes now at $3.50. you had better be getting at least the same value or you are sweeping floors at McDonald's and that's nobodies fault but your own...


I wasn't around in 1970.....,, grin


In 2000 gas was 1.25ish in the Midwest. It's now three times that on average. Very few people (outside the oil field or health care) can say their wages are triple what the were in 2000.
