You have to look at the gas prices in perspective. I have a scrapbook of a trip to Florida my dad took when he was a kid in 1937, and he saved the gas reciepts. Gas was 15 cents a gallon then, but what some people fail to see is what it cost compared to other things, or compared to the hourly wages for labor. A lot of people got paid 15 cents an hour then, so if you look at it that way, it is like an hours work for a gallon of gas. With the Minimum wage in NY of $6.75 an hour, then gas would have to be 6.75 bucks a gallon to be as cheap as it was in 1937. Now with crude oil at a record price of $75.40 a barrel, the demand for gas is still skyrocketing, people are still driving gas-sucking pigs, every 16 year old has his/her own car and everyone drives everywhere all the time, so it must not be as bad as everyone whines about. Besides, gas is cheaper than water. You buy a pint bottle of water for even a dollar, gas would have to cost $8.00 a gallon to compare.
