A Buffalo Grove letter to the editor: When I was a teenager, you could pull into a gas station and ask for 'a dollar's worth' of gas and you would get three gallons. Today, that equates to a price of $3.37 or so a gallon.
When I was a teenager, you could pull into a gas station and ask for"a dollar's worth" of gas and you would get three gallons. Today, that equates to a price of $3.37 or so a gallon. In other words, gas prices haven't really increased much in more than 50 years.
Furthermore, the average gas mileage back then was around 14 miles per gallon, whereas today, the average mileage for cars is around 24 mpg, so you are going further for that same gasoline dollar. So, while you can point to other products whose price has increased faster than inflation, you really can't complain about gas prices.
