In 2000, gas was $1.30 per gallon, and the people elected a pair of venial oilmen. Now the price is two dollars higher, and nothing whatever has been done to liberate the US from its addiction to foreign oil.
Well, at least that's better than the claim I heard the other day that gas $0.87/gal in 2000.
Average price in 10/2000 was right at $1.60/gal. Now, it's $2.94. That's an increase of $1.34.
What would correcting for inflation do for this?
