True, and gas here was $.50 a gallon, etc. My point is that memories of values such as these color our perceptions of today while the value of the money has deteriorated. Gas of 1972 (or 1964) is essentially the same as today's gas so its price is a good marker of the value of money. We all make a lot more dollars today but they don't buy as much individually and the greater quantity makes us look "rich" to the tax code which also is colored with the perceptions of the past.
