I find it interesting to see the panic and turmoil over today's gas prices.  The reality is, gas today costs the same thing it did in 1983, when adjusted for inflation.  I remember buying gas in 1983 for $1.30 a gallon.  That is the equivalent of $4.31 today.

People are lemmings

I like to pay as little as possible for consumer goods. Could just be me, though.

I remember when I first started driving in the late 60's gas was .25$ I could fill up my 65 VW for about 2.00$

That’s about $2.40 today…

I dont worry about the economy much.  I figure we are all in the same boat as we pretty much pay the same for shit.   Luckily some of yall are in the drivers boat and 10.00 a gallon wouldnt affect yall

Okay…most of your attempted slander just makes me feel sorry for you.   (I don’t mean that derogatory either).   I don’t know your background…haven’t walked in your shoes, so, maybe there’s a reason you are the way you are.   

Also…just in case you missed it…JC isn’t a freeloader.   (Could have something to do with me not calling him out.   But,  I know, that doesn’t fit the narrative.
