In 1978 a full size car cost about $6000, today about $24000. In 1978 gas was $.80 a gallon, today its $3.20. We have had cheap gas for a long time now its just catching up with inflation. Unfortunately its done it all in the last few years. This is why americans aren't cutting back. But wait till it hits $4.50 a gallon.
