Re: New $$ heights for fuel!
Did some research on inflation:
$2.50 in 2005 = $1.99 in 1995 $1.70 in 1990 $1.40 in 1985 $0.70 in 1975 I'd say gas has gone up more than just inflation, but not as much as one might think... |

Re: New $$ heights for fuel!
Man, I'm doin' ALL the work here...
$2.50 in 2005 = $1.99 in 1995 (Gas was $1.23) $1.70 in 1990 (Gas was $1.09) $1.40 in 1985 (Gas was $1.11) $0.70 in 1975 (Gas was $0.59) Average total taxes per gallon have also increased from 12.4 cents/gallon (41.4 inflation-adjusted) to 47.6 cents/gallon now. Looks to me like we got a real good deal in the 80's and 90's. Based on the 1975 price, gas should be about $2.11 right now. If you look around you can find it for close to that on the street. |
Re: New $$ heights for fuel!
gas may be $2.50+ but a DVD player is $30. It goes both ways. Gas has got a big tag on it but so many other consumer goods (particularly electronics/technology) are CHEAP today, especially when compared with inflation.
can you remember what you paid in 1980 dollars for a VCR? |

Re: New $$ heights for fuel!
Yeah, but I have to replace my gas a lot more often than I do my DVD players. :eek: :(

there are alot of consumer goods that cost a fraction in "real dollars" of what they did when gas was $1 a gallon. |
