I guess it would depend on your income!!! I don't think by my wife making $9.00 an hour to add to my pension would equate to me by driving my Monte Carlo, or 67 Nova getting from 10 to 14 miles on high octane gas. 10 miles $4.00.... 20 miles $8.00.... 30 miles $12.00 and so on. I couldn't afford to drive them too far.

It didn’t seem hard to find money for gas back in the 60’s. I had some pretty thirsty cars.
They use the comparison with what cars cost back in the 50’s compared to what they cost today. If you are making big money today, you should be ok.
