Gas Prices...
I just started watching an older movie, The Survivors (1983) starring Walter Matthau and Robin Williams. In an opening scene, Robin Williams pumps gas at a station owned by Walther Matthau's character. I found it interesting that gas prices at the time the movie was shot were $1.41/gal for unleaded. That is roughly comparable to today's prices, 26 years later with no adjustment for inflation. I find it incredible that we have subsidized gasoline to the point that prices have not changed in 26 years. Can anyonce think of exmaples of other commodities that have similar price histories?
