Just thought it'd be some interesting questions to ask. As always, explain what your choices were and why. If there's a sensible choice in one of the questions I left out, I'll add it.

I think gas prices are fairly high, but adjusted for inflation I think we're right where we should be (or perhaps on a slight spike). I think we just happened to have a 5-10 year period of insanely low prices, which makes today's prices look outrageous. I recall gas as low as $0.75 when I was a sr in high school, which, adjusted for inflation, was the lowest price in the history of gasoline in the US. we just happened to grow up during those times, and now get pissed that it's back to a more "normal" price.

Folks disagree on whether or not we've surpassed the 1981 gasoline price spike in current dollars, but we're definitely close: http://money.cnn.com/2007/05/22/news/econo...sion=2007052213 http://www.mercopress.com/vernoticia.do?id...mp;formato=HTML I'm sure we'll unarguably beat that record later this spring or summer. -------------------- |
