This is from my journal back in 2013, on a trip from Grapevine, TX, to Williston, ND.
I was driving my 2012 Honda Civic.
It appears I was paying about $3.49 / gallon for gasoline.
That was back in 2013.
In north Texas, today, we are paying about $4.39 / gallon.
Adjusted for inflation, I doubt gasoline is costing a whole lot more now than it did in 2013. In addition, like me, many are spending less on gasoline overall simply because they are now driving less, and/or are getting better mileage.
Another example I like to use, three questions:
- what's the price for a USPS first-class stamp today?
- what's the price for a USPS first-class stamp going to be July 1, 2022?
- how many USPS first-class stamps are you going to need today?
