Re: The Price of Gasoline
When I was in the Army in Germany in the mid 60's gasoline "on the economy" (not a special US military price)(US military could get discounted prepaid cards for gas for personal vehicles more in line with US prices) was about $3.50 or so a Gallon. Price in the US at that time was about 45 cents or so a gallon.
I was recently in Italy and the price was about $7.00 a gallon or about double the '65 price while we in the US are paying nearly ten times what we paid in '65.
It seams that we are headed to matching the price Europe pays. If that happens we will probably match their use of bicycles, motor scooter, tiny cars and extensive public transportation also.
