>>Back then (mid-70’s) gas was .50 a gallon and I could put around $3.00 in it and go a week. The good old days.<<
Even then, did you have one of those “this car runs on gas not friendship” signs?
I don’t know why, but your post reminded me of those — I think they started appearing when gas started getting up to *gasp* 60 cents a gallon!
LOL no...I can’t remember being bothered by any increases or that it was even an issue (I’m talking ‘76). Being a teen, increases in prices at that time didn’t resonate. That was the year though that I started becoming more politically aware starting with Carter’s election.
