What would you define "really cheap" as being?

To the point where it was no longer echonomical to persue alternative
fuels and exploratory drilling. It was far cheaper to import the
stuff.

Actually, with all the complaining when you figure in the average wage
Vs the cost of gas in the US compared to the same in Europe, even
$3.00 gas is cheap. They make less and pay at least twice as much...
or there abouts.


With 1971 baseline prices, gas today would be something like $3.25-3.50 a
gallon.

Yet people whine!!

1980 prices are a lot of the reason Peanut Carter got bounced out of the
White House.
