That was then, this is now?
I probably have fewer miles on the odometer than yourself, my wistful memories go back to 19 cent a gallon gas and 50 cents for a pack of Marlboros. I did tell our daughter I've seen an inflationary cycle or two but nothing like the current experience in my lifetime anyway......

I would not want to visit the places with low fuel cost let alone move there.

Thomas $.20 a gal was long after I had left home but I do remember Salems being $.25 out of the machine or $2.00 a carton. You know we had it made back then. I wish I could remember some of the prices I paid for cars in the late 50s as I had some nice ones, 58 Impala conv, 59 Impala Conv, 61 Corvette. Bought a 65 GTO for $2950 and a 66 442 Olds for about the same. I only remember the GTO because I still have it---others are just pictures and memories. Hope my oil and gas leases keep paying me and no one steals the 110 gal of diesel in my DP.
