Gas doesn't seem cheap when you bought it for 19 cents a gallon. I guess people just don't see $4 a gallon as expensive anymore, must be that I am getting close to 62 in a few months. Looks like I can cover 210 miles on about $8.40 on the bike. About 4 cents a mile compared to less than a penny 45 years ago. I guess when you consider I was working 40 hours a week for under $23 take home pay in the summer of 1969 and gas was 32 cents a gallon, it would be the equilivant of minimum wage today.
It just baffles me that people drive anything that gets 12 MPG these days. Just grab a roll of quarters and throw one out the window every mile the odometer clicks off. Now add another nickel for the recent hike in prices.
That's $60 a week instead of my $8.40. There is a lot you can do with $51.60 a week besides paying those who hate us to do us harm.
