I am not that old, but I remember 23 cents a gallon gas where a guy would pump it for you, wash your windshield, check your tires and oil, and give you six times green stamps to boot. I first saw the joke “I Filled my Tank and My Car Doubled in Value!” on the Red Green Show, a strange Canadian comedy I highly recommend if you ever channel surf and see it on. It displayed a beat up van getting filled and the gas was worth more than the van. Nowadays, that is increasingly true for all of us. How do high gas prices affect us? My own son has to consider his budget before he drives over from Scottsdale to North Phoenix to visit. Prices are expected to get higher and higher as our President continues to give hundreds of billions to failing solar panel makers but will not let us drill for new oil or build new nuclear plants. Eventually, we will all be stuck within one square mile, walking, eating, living, unable to afford to move about.
