Going through some old photos and found this one, taken on a drive to Florida in December 1987.
Granted, gas was always cheaper down south. And I assume this struck us as especially cheap even for then (we don't usually take photos of gas signs on our vacations). But 21 years isn't that long of a time, yet it's almost impossible to remember this expense being almost a full 5th of what it is now.

WHen I was still attending Loyola, way back in the dusty late 90s, there was a station on the way to Ellicott City that was typically around .98 or .99. And that was only a decade ago. What other consumable has increased 4x in a decade? It's bizarre. The only good thing about it is that it may be the tipping point that leads to a new era of slightly less conspicuous comsumption although i'm not holding my breath.
i'm thinking if we take over iran, it will make all of these problems go away.
