The mid-80s, if I recall correctly, was about the time when Americans were beginning to say "I'll never pay a dollar a gallon for gas!"
And I dunno, I think there are a few places on that island I'd like to go, and I'd get frustrated and annoyed while waiting for the trains to arrive and get there.
I was camping up in the North Idaho woods this past weekend and when I built a fire, I used some newspaper from summer 2004. I like to see what the baseball standings were or whatever.
The front page, top of the fold, had a big article on skyrocketing gas prices. They'd just hit $2.169.

$3.38 per gallon?
So you'll have heard this all before, but...
You saved an absolute fortune by not filling up in the UK. Prices are running at around $7.05 per (US) gallon.
Last time gas cost as little as $3.38 over here was the mid-'80s!
But then again we're a tiny wee island and there's really nowhere worth driving to anyway :-)

Dave,

And in France, it is 6,57 $ / gallon !!!
I guess you still have some chance too have so cheap gas. It won't be long until you catch us up.
It's $3.22 today.
And sure, agatez, it could hit $7 here at some point, but with all the taxes on European gas, it'll be $20 there.
