Gas prices fluctuate so often(creates news). Yesterday I noticed that gas was $2.76 and last week it was $2.89. We in TV should be the last ones to complain about gas prices. Started working in 1979. Gas was $.80 a gallon and VW beetle got 20 MPG with no air conditioning. Now own VW Passat which gets 33 MPG and has all of the creature comforts. IF I drove both vehicles 10K miles a year I would have paid $400 a year in 1979 and $875 in 2021. In other words ACTUAL gas costs have only doubled over the past 40 years.
