Corrected for inflation, gasoline is not that expensive.
Sure. It's not expensive. Sure.
It's still not nearly as bad as it was during the energy crisis during the '70s. Though at a progressive rate, it may be heading that way.
Gas in the US is still maybe half as much as it is in Europe. And we should feel lucky; a barrell of oil in some areas of Africa can run around 11,000 USD.
Yep. It's cheaper than it was in the early 1980's when benchmarked for inflation. This so-called energy Secretary calls this a crisis? Gime me a break. Gas lines in the 70s was getting towards a crisis but even that was manageable. It was dealt with it with less whining in my area of the woods than I hear now from the softies coming up the ranks now.
