Where does this clown get $.30 in 1950, in 1952 I was only paying $.139/gallon.

In the summer of 1972 I paid .259 for premium to fill my 2 gallon motorcycle tank. Regular gas was .299 to .309 during non-holiday weekends. It was jacked up to .339 to .389 on a big holiday weekend.

An ounce of gold was fixed at $35 in 1972. The following year, the dollar was taken off the gold standard and an ounce increased in price to $42. It is $917 today. Regular gas would be at $8.09/gallon if it tracked the gold standard.

I thought the same thing, I remember paying 30 cents per gallon in the 70's.

Gas prices will go down one day, that day being the day that no one will be able to afford the posted price.
