Not bad enjoying these cheap gas prices and spending money I shouldn't

[ZackN920]

(daffy duck voice)Don't SAY THAT!!!! Gas prices will go up if you say that! It's NOT cheap!
...at least, not until it gets under $1.50.

paid $2.07 the other day anything under $3.00 is cheap anything under $2.00 is free

...you and so many others are brainwashed... It's not cheap. It's not that bad, but not cheap. My dad remembers a time (when he started driving) where it was less than 1.00 a gallon.

How much do you buy at a time too? Being a groundskeeper, I learned early that the really does add up. $2 a gallon could easily become a $200 bill.

How the hell is gas around you 2.07! I'd think it'd be higher, being that close to Chicago! Hell, in Freeport gas is-at least .10 higher and Rockford is closer to .20+

[mattmopar440]

my rule of thumb is, If its the same price as when I started driving its cheap if its under that its free

Woodmans has a cash only gas station but they have the best dam prices in town

Food for thought...
Gas averages around $2.50 a gallon here in the US today. Adjusted to 1967 dollars that comes to about $0.34 a gallon. Gas averaged $0.33 per gallon in 1967. So the real price of a tank of gas is really the same now as it was 50 years ago!

Nobody's brainwashed. It would help to consider inflation.

My dad remembers gasoline costing less than a dollar, too. In 1965, when he started driving, gas may have cost less than 33 cents a gallon, but he was earning $1.00 an hour to pump it. At that time, disc brakes were just coming to mainstream passenger cars, a calculator cost more than a thousand dollars, and it wasn't safe for black people to drive through certain parts of this country.

Times change!

Wow, that's interesting and great to see!--That it's the same in regards to inflation. Hopefully it stays that way.
