Back in the Mesozoic Era, I was approaching Kansas City and knew I would 
soon need gas.  The closer I got, gas prices were plunging every block, 
and soon I realized they were having a good old raise the flag and drop 
the prices, boys, we got us a GAS WAR!!!  When the price got down to 
17.3 cents a gallon, I figured they couldn't go any lower.  After 
filling up, I continued on and within a half mile, it was down to 13.2 
cents a gallon.

In the late 1960's, I remember complaining to a friend who owned the gas 
station.  Gas had shot up from 32.9 cents a gallon to 50.9, and I was 
madder than hell.  How good that 50.9 looked when the gas crisis hit in 
the '70's!  The funny thing is, when adjusted to inflation, gasoline 
today is cheaper than it was at that time.
