    With fuel prices hitting an all time high I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone is paying per gallon.

    When you factor in inflation,wages and the greater fuel economy of modern cars, it cost less to drive a modern car for 100 miles than it did in the 1950s. For example, say in 1950 you were making $0.50 an hour, gas cost $.0.20 a gallon and your car got 12 mpg; you therefore spent around $1.66 to drive 100 miles which took you 3.3 hours to earn. Now, the average income is around $10.00 an hour, gas cost $2.00 a gallon and cars average 25mpg; so, it now cost you $8.00 to drive that 100 miles which took you only 0.8 hours to earn. So, stop complaining because we all can now travel way cheaper than our grandparents could. In any event, I just paid $2.00 a gallon to fill up my M5.
