In 1980 with 2004 dollars? I understand the price in 1980 was about $0.80 a gallon in 1980 dollars. The point being that, adjusted for inflation, we are about equal to the 1980 price. Go he http://inflationdata.com/Inflation/I..._Inflation.asp What is the real Price of Gas? "Remember back in 1980 when the price of Gas first topped $1.00 per Gallon? Since then we have gotten used to Gas being over the magic number, that's why it doesn't hurt as much right? Wrong! In real (inflation adjusted dollars) gas is actually still cheaper than it was back in 1980! Even though a gallon of unleaded in the US has shot up 21 cents per gallon recently... And Gasoline is fast approaching the peak prices seen during both Gulf Wars... Though many in the press are claiming that gas prices are at an all time high... When adjusted for inflation, it is clear that gasoline prices are far below the 1981 inflation-adjusted peak of $2.94." / |

Here in rec.travel.air,
"Gregory Morrow" spake unto us, saying: In real (inflation adjusted dollars) gas is actually still cheaper than it was back in 1980! I (vaguely) remember times in the early 70's when the gas stations around here would have price wars and gas would get down to US 27.9 cents per US gallon. :-) -- -Rich Steiner --- http://www.visi.com/~rsteiner --- Eden Prairie, MN OS/2 + eCS + Linux + Win95 + DOS + PC/GEOS + Executor = PC Hobbyist Heaven!

I cringe at thinking what a 16 gallon fill up would run me in the UK Well, first off it would only take 12.8 gallons to fill your 16-gallon tank or at least I suspect we have a gallons vs. gallons problem here. UK gallon = 40 fl oz, US gal = 32 fl oz. Also the US octane rating system is the average of the "motor" and "research" methods of octane ratings. The UK (and much of the rest of the world) uses the higher method. |
