RE: [ST] FYI Gas prices



Funny you should mention that Andy.  A guy I work with said the same thing when I complained about the rising gas prices.  I never had/took the time to sit down and analyze that so I'll take your word for it.  That doesn't make me feel any better though.

Gas prices are just APPROACHING the real cost we were paying in the
mid-70's.  Inflation actually hid the fact that gasoline cost a lot less
for a long time.  As a percentage of your income, it is less or possibly
equal to what we paid 30 years ago.

Refinery capacity is a real problem in the cost factor.  Thank the
Sierra club and the rest of the NIMBY's for the paucity of new refinery
capacity.
