Yeah, and another way to look at it is back when Microsoft stock was $21 and 
hadn't split yet...

No, a more accurate way to look at it is how many hours do you have to work at 
McDonald's to fill your tank?

Joe,
      
      Another way to look at any price today is this way.
      
      Back when our currency was silver based and a quarter was about      
1/5th of an oz AG, gas was anywhere from 18 to 25c / gallon. Well      if you 
were smart and saved all your dimes, quarters, half dollars      and silver 
dollars you could go down to your precious metal dealer      and sell them 5 
quarters (1.25) for about 13 to 14 dollars today.      So a quarter could get 
you about 3$ good for about 1.5 gallons up      here in upstate NY.  So if you 
look at it that way, gas is cheaper      today than it was in the 60's.
      
      Just goes to show you how much our $ has fallen in 50 years.
      
      Now, I was just in northern CA and drove on US 395 CA, and US 95      
Nevada and I saw prices in the 4.50 to almost 5$ range. This was      in 
October. Well over double what I saw on I 40 when I got into NM      and TX.
      
      Bob
