I remember getting out of the Military (1964) and gas prices were somewhere between 30-40 cents per gallon. When I finally retired from the workforce after 43 years (2006) gas prices were somewhere around $2.50/gal. Even at $5/gal I think gas prices had not kept up with inflation. The only caveat is that with all that's going on now wages are being decreased. I am wondering if the gas prices would have kept up with inflation would we have had $5/gal gas already? We will, as others have said, limit ourselves to maby one or two long distance trips this year and stay closer to home for the rest.
