Meybe dry rental rates have suffered more than gas prices.

I havn't had it even as good as 1:3, wanna trade jobs?

Nawh, I actually like my work... The fact that the pay is good enough to
allow me a few toys is nice also...

I've heard some people say that when you account for inflation
gas is relatively cheaper now than when gas was 25 cents a
gallon or whatever. I think that's a load.

That's been long enough that I don't remember how much I made back then... I
can remember getting rid of a '69 Pontiac that only got about 5 mpg when gas
hit $0.50 per gallon back in the mid-to-late 1970s... Come to think of it,
on a cost per mile basis, the vehicle that I drive the most these days is
more expensive than the '69 Pontiac, but it is a bit more flexible in
utility... As we used to say about the Camaros, Firebirds, and GTOs back
then, if the back seat was any smaller, it could be classified as a means of
birth control...
