The Price of Gas

Today I got gas for $2.88 / gal. I haven't seen the price drop below $3 in a long time,.
At the risk of sounding like an old fogey, I have to say (in a creaky, grandpa voice) that "I remember when the price of gas broke $1 for the first time!" That happened in 1980-something, although according to the all-knowing Internet, if that price was adjust for inflation it would be more like $3.50. Sorry to pop your bubble, Grandpa.

When I mentioned this momentous occasion at the dinner table, Kenrick piped up and said "I don't think I've ever seen gas below $3!" Now I really do feel old.
