Trip down memory lane —

country that had finally become energy independent and naively thought it would stay that way. 12% less gas in the tank compared to 1965 may not seem like a big deal unless you are traveling 30+ miles to work and getting 20 mpg in your used car. It means you take money from other areas of your budget or walk 7.2 miles per day or walk to work 2.4 days a month. Again, no big deal unless you are the one walking or taking money from other much needed areas of your budget. Yep! Who ’ d a Thunk It--gas at $1.47 or even gas at $3.01. Both extremes are shocking. Regretfully, $3.01 may well be the low end of the race to the top of price and to the bottom of supply.

Service station attendants dressed to impress, pumped your gas, checked your oil, added air to your tires, cleaned your windshield — and said thank you and come again.
