I looked back 25 years ago and figured out what I made per hour, gas prices, car prices, house prices, etc. Gas is right in line (finally) with inflation. Gas was $1 a gallon in 1983 and now its $3.80 a gallon. With the numbers I came up with it should be about 3.5x what it was in 1983 to be the same as everything else. So $3.50 a gallon is what it should be, so $4.00 a gallon is a little high. We have just been spoiled for a long time. Now maybe people will stop buying HUGE Trucks and Sport Utility vehicles to just look COOL. Most of the people I see are alone just lookin COOL. Familys don't need these huge GAS PIGS, they can just get a nice wagon or minivan. I don't feel sorry for anybody who spends $100 a week on a huge pig truck, smell the coffee and buy something else, I did. I no longer drive my giant Tundra crew cab TRD 4x4 @ 10-12mpg.
