Kinda funny reading the comments - i've been feeling like this ever since we went metric and the fuktards in the oil companies jacked prices thinking we wouldn't notice - and by and large we didn't.
When I started driving in 1968 gas was about 0.38 per gallon which is about 0.10 per litre and I could put a bucks worth of gas in my dad's '66 Chevy wagon and get a whole night's worth of fun out of it. - even with a 327 4bbl rarely off the floor.
But I read somewhere that once you factor inflation etc. ... that price is about what we're paying now, and today's price is still a far cry from what they pay in the rest of the world (most of it) - so 2001 ZTS, you haven't offended me either.
Cheers.
