haha, BUSH SUCKS, wow, noone knows that, thanks man. you see, bush doesn't decide gas prices you f*cking idiot. OPEC does. In fact, the closest person in the white house to people who decide gas prices is Cheney.

I wish I could speak better "human." As far as English goes, I only know the difference between "it's" and "its" right now.

Seriously, it would seem wise to double check spelling and grammer before submitting a post criticizing someone's spelling and grammar.

+1

How many people use Korf41? I swear I've seen him be less retarded.

Wow that really is special. Gotta love it when someone tries to slag someone's grammar/spelling and f*cks up their own. Badly.

There's no bus short enough for these kids. Do I really need to put (sic) next to everything? Do I really need to shove it down your throat, for more than just the simple reason that you like it like that? Seriously, it's not that complicated.

-2

human language ≠ English. english most spoken second language

I remember when stamps were 15 cents, pay phone calls were 10 cents, and watching Small Wonder.

Amen. And I remember when the big Hershey bars were 30 cents.

Not only did I not see that coming, but using the music from later on in the movie for this scene is damn cool.

and you calculate how much average income has increased and realized it's as cheap as it ever was in comparison

-1

Not if you were working now, and could travel back in time to get gas. That would be pushing the limit FTW.

+5

see, but i don't make as much money as everyone else, so it's more expensive now. DON'T QUESTION MY LOGIC.

Wrong. Gas at 79.9 cents in 1988 would be comparable to gas being $2.60 in our time.

i like how you went and did the research to find that out. You're still wrong because you didn't take into account that people made less money. If a person made $50,000 a year now, that's like $20,000 or so then, so by percentage, it's more. Still though, i say hydrogen cars. Biogas production of hydrogen would be around $1.50 per gallon of gas (equivalent) or so. Also, it's renewable and gives off water. but for that matter, cars don't pollute half as much as power plants, which are mostly coal. It's sad.

hey yo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogas

i wasn't calling you wrong Geoguy. I was saying Twinsen is incorrect. Get it straight. In 2005, the average income per capita is twice as much as it was in 1988, however, the value of the dollar has decreased approximately 40 percent. This is how I was able to obtain my figure. So... gas WAS cheaper in 1988 than it is now.

phernoree > geoguy1

What everyone is forgetting is that is California's price. What is it there now on average? $3.50? 3.60? There were certain places I could go to in Texas in '94 that was still in the .80 range.

Also...guess what is driving the inflation rate right now? Could it be oil and natural gas? Wages, outside of the oil industry, athletes and board members, have not gone up 250% in the last 20 years. Remember, there used to be nice automotive and heavy industry jobs that paid better then $25/hour with no degree.

phernoree > geoguy1 Geoguy1 quoted Wikipedia, he instantly loses.

i concede, because there's apparently some anti-me army sage override must have started LOOK ITS A CONSPIRACY LOLOL!!!1

PS: Also, he's right. That's half the reason i concede.

Trebar, actually, what is driving inflation is the government spending so much money, then printing more out of thin air to pay the bills. We have a fiat currency system.

vehicles make up for %80 of emissions. also, hydrogen power does not work below the freezing point. also, c*cks

"vehicles make up for %80 of emissions." i refuse to believe that in a world where coal and natural gas heats, cools, and powers virtually every house in this country. no matter how many hummers there are. OH WAIT, HUMMERS, okay, sorry. I forgot that one. never mind, you're right. (no sarcasm - seriously, those things are ugly and stupid and they take up more gas than some RVs.)

PS: If you own a hummer or know someone who does, please destroy it or yourself. Or your friend. Either way.

I like how they make them boxy so they're less aerodynamic too.

yeah seriously, that would be a f*cking godsend.

I remember regular for .77 in 1997 or so

yeah, "regular" here means "with lead". Then it was MORE expensive to help the environment, now it's less.

5'd for the Ode

Hell yeah, if it was 1988, Zappa would be alive!

thank you. I love you. Please make love to me.

God damn...

Gas was even cheaper in the early 70s before the OPEC crisis.

I wish I had a time machine and 1 oil tanker because I would go back in time, buy a tanker full of oil then sell it here today and make a lot of money

Carl Winslown'd.

Flawless. ^_^

I was just Emo for a moment..

you could still get a blow job for only 10 bucks back in those days

+4

Great success!

1988 was like one of the best years ever. That's when ガーディック外伝 was released, and soon the Japanese (and Americans a year later) were holding down the "B" button for continuous firing. also Contra.

(which also lets you hold down the "B" button for continuous firing)

thats also when i was 2 years old.

word.

Regular isn't even Regular. It's LEADED. You can't even buy that anymore.

It was leaded in other countries up until recently. I was in the UK in 1993 and you could buy leaded gas then. But it was over US$4 gallon there back then for any gasoline.

Nice.................

Regular gas.

Get a bike...

Or Jet pack

AND NINE TENTHS!

I remember that scene too! OMG!

haha he's a cop in everything

i was - 2 years old back then

Boy ain't that the truth . . .

lol

= O

Hell I was seeing prices like that in 1998 in ohio. Then the price skyrocketed to 1.20 and I nearly freaked.

+1

F*CK

haha

genius

*sigh* If only....

lol regular or unleaded...it's all unleaded now. kinda neat. next make a ytmnd of how you could buy like 100 acres of land in southern california for like $2,000 in 1930.

I suddenly became very sad.

holy cow...

You get fived for relevance.

jesus it's $3.36 where i live just 3 weeks ago it was $2.84 how gay is that?

LOL, Arco!

Damn, I miss the Reagen Years :(

He had some great rhetoric, didn't he? Too bad he did almost the exact opposite of what he promised, save bring down the Soviet Union.

er... please say you're joking.

Well, lets see: Promised: To shrink the government Reality: Made it bigger than ever before Promised: Lower taxes Reality: Yes, lowered in 81', only to be offset and negated by other tax increases later on Promised: Deregulations and Government program abolishments Reality: Nothing was deregulated, nothing abolished Promised: To be champions of free trade Reality: Most protectionist than previous administrations Promised: Eliminate departments of Energy and Education Reality: both Grew bigger

oh no, i was talking to Grimm22. I hate Reagan. High five.

I noticed this back in February, and I had been telling people about it. My girlfriend's mom remembers that she could fill up her car with $10 back then. I'm glad someone else noticed this...then again, it makes me cry.

We've been enjoying prices much higher than that in Europe for the last 100 years! Take that, pigdogs

What? Europeans pay much more for gasoline.

hahaha

Peak Oil ftl. Sucks to be a Yankee dog.

jesus christ

wow so low. i miss those days

F*ck man, it was under a buck here until about 6 years ago--now it's over $3.

Amen to that.

lol

YANKEE OIL TYCOON PIGDOGGERY FTL

Dude I'd KILL for gas at 77 cents per gallon....LOL Blood For Oil

Yeah, but minimum wage was about 4 bucks an hour!

The Reagan years still make the Bush Jr. years look like a paradise by comparison. At least I never voted for either.

-2

I'm going to kill.

5'd for being die hard.

I remember when it was 84 cents five or six years ago

Unexpectedly funny!

I believe the day is coming when Carl Winslow will again appear and guide us to gas stations with 75 cent gas.

This YTMND has suddenly lost its meaning.
