Was going to post that if someone else didn't. I started driving in '98, when inflation adjusted prices were at an all-time low.

I could fill the '69 Beetle for a ten dollar bill and get $2 change. Would fill the '76 Honda CB750 with a five and get a dollar back.

I watched a friend's dad put $100 into a motor-home and thought you'd have to be filthy rich to afford that. My truck will take $120 in diesel easily. I once put $20 in the truck and it wasn't enough to turn the low fuel light off!
