I remember when $ 2.00 would buy 8 gallons of regular, in 1968 in Denver.

and that would provide an all day trip to tops of mountain passes on
forest roads and back.
for two bucks !

I like to measure it in miles per dollar too..
if we are getting 20 mpg ..
at  $ 4 per gal ...
that means 100 miles takes 5 gallons.
5 gallons costs 20 bucks..
for ....only 5 miles per dollar.
At my local southern oregon price of $ 4.25 I must be getting only about
4 1/2 miles per dollar sometimes.

and with the common  'cars' around here ..  big pick-up trucks ..they
might be getting 3 miles per dollar. Ouch.
