Gas seems really high compared to other things I buy.

We have a photo in our customer waiting area with Bob Beachler pumping gas in 1955. The price on the pump was 32.9 cents. At that time postage for a first class letter was 3 cents. If gasoline would have followed the cost of the postage, the price per gallon would be $3.73 today. Energy costs have lagged behind inflation for years.
