Screw it. Ups and downs. For a long time a gallon of gas was the same
price as a pack of cigarettes, but those days are long gone. I stopped
smoking when cigs were about a buck a pack.

According to a couple of online CPI calculators, US$0.50 in 1974 is
equivalent to US$2.66 in 2018. Also, most states have raised the gas
taxes significantly since then. So I guess US$3.00/gallon doesn't seem
all that outrageous to me.
