I remember when gasoline in Cali was just over $2.25 a gallon
twenty years ago,2001. At King’s Canyon it was $2.50 that year.

If you rent one of the old Disney movies HERBIE THE LOVE BUG(1968) there is a scene, in a race in the mountains where they are filling up with gas in California. The meter says 45 cents a gallon for Ethyl.

But the minimum wage was 85 cents an hour.

Do the math, gas is much cheaper today than it was then.

I remember when gasoline in FL was $1.21 and I drove to the next corner because it was $1.19.
