We scream when it hits a $1.35 to $1.75 a gallon, which if adjusted for inflation actually is cheaper than 25 years ago." It seems that Americans just think the world owes them a favor Maybe it's time that they start playing fairly and stop feeling so sorry for themselves!!! According to many articles, Americans have a lot more to be thankful for than they do to complain about For one, cars use gas a lot more efficiently than they did in the past According to Royko, "even today's luxury cars give you better gas mileage than the cheapest Chevies, Fords and Plymouths did not that long ago." What does this mean? This means that gas prices should logically go up It's the basic law of supply and demand It's true that more Americans are driving, but the gasoline suppliers still deserve to get paid fairly. And what about inflation? Well, when you take inflation into account, the price for gasoline is less now than it was forty years ago
