I dont know what the oil companies are up to -- probably nothing good -- but $1.75 may actually be cheap. Somebody wrote a couple years ago: > I think that gasoline was around .32 per gallon in 1965 > (hi-test). Today right now hi-test is around $1.60 and that's only in the last few > months The Inflation Calculator says that, in general, what cost .32 in 1965 would cost $1.79 in 2002. Assuming the writer's memory about the 32 cents in 1965 (before the big oil crisis, wasn't it?) is correct, gas at $1.79 today wdnt be out of line. The writer also recalled: > Originally, a 1965 mustang was around $2500 for a v-8 model. > You could buy a new 1962 dodge 426 wedge with a 4-speed fpr $2200. How much is a new Mustang today?
