Bing-Bing! I thought it was Ding-Ding and give me 5 dollars
worth. Oh yeah, that was a fill-up!

Bing-bing is Canadian for Ding-ding.

I drive a Geo Metro that gets 40mpg. People used to laugh at me at work while they drove their extended cab trucks with spotless beds. I'm not in the majority, but I'm sure laughing now. Let's face it, American's are piggish and consume too much with out huge houses that suck energy and gas hog vehicles. It's the same mindset that has so many people getting type 2 diabetes after living a selfish life.

What cost .18 in 1969 would cost .98 in 2006.
Or,if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2006 and 1969,they would cost you .18 and .04 respectively.

Rick,

What are you telling me? That gas @ .18 per gallon then, adjusted for inflation in 2006 should only cost .98 per
gallon? So, $3.00 per gallon gives the oil companies an
additional $2.00 per gallon profit !

According to THIS...yes.
