I remember 12.9 cents a gallon, Eisenhower was president.

Rode the bike today, under 40 degrees, a little chilly but 75 MPG.

Paid a penny a mile in 1968, less than 5 cents a mile today. $5 a gallon at 75-80 MPG, still better than working for $22.79 for 40 hours take home pay and 32 cents a gallon.
