I recall one of the first gas "crises". 1971 or so. Gas had just gone up from $0.39 per gallon to $0.50 and people were irate. I know, because I was working nights at a gas station at the time while going to college classes during the day. Lots of really P.O.'ed people blaming whoever was handiest to blame. Most of the time, it was us.

Do you know how much $0.50 in 1971 would be worth today?

$3.61.

'Nuff said.
