It may have seemed a bargain at 2 bucks, but the real hidden price of having to also endure mean tweets was far too much to pay

I do remember how people really bitched when gas hit 1.00 dollar for the first time in back 80 or 81. Checking the inflation calculator, $1.30 in 1980 is worth $4.74 in today. If 4.74 gas is baseline, that would mean we are paying around $1.09 too much now based on 1981 prices.

So, the good old 50 cent gas before the 80's would be the equivalent to 1.82 today. That's just about where Trump had us, I believe.

Just for fun, a pre-1965 50 cent piece is worth $9.67 today! So gas is WAY too cheap today if based on commodity vs commodity. In 1964 gas was 30 cents a gallon.
