> dude i remember when i got my license the first tank or gas i pumped into my first truck was $0.89 a gallon. Slapped in $5 and got 1/2 tank

I remember that too. Id drive around aimlessly blowing a tank of gas and be out like $12. Now if I did the same thing Im out around $95. Of course theres a difference between a 4 cylinder Ranger and a v8 F150 to account for but regardless the gas prices have gone up 4 times what there were back then.

What else has gone up to 4 times the price in the last 14 years? Certainly not wages.
