In 1972 I purchased a VW Super Bettle for $1,950.00, gas was $0.299 per gallon.

Today a new VW is about $20,000.00 and gas is $3.50.

And you can pay $4,500.00 FOR A RIDING MOWER :-)

"And you can pay $4,500.00 FOR A RIDING MOWER "

Which brings up the point, my John Deere mower has an 8-gallon tank...it takes almost $30.00 to fill it up now.

I can mow my yard twice, maybe three times on a tank.

$30.00 to fill up a LAWN MOWER...I may do like they did in the 50's and pull up all my grass in favor of a dirt front yard...just sweep it every week or so with a "brush broom" and leave it at that.
