Sister Bear…
I remember RIGHT BEFORE the Yom Kippur War in ’73, gas in New York City was 35 cents per gallon. The arabs started an embargo, and overnight it went up to 98 cents per gallon.
Of course by comparison to today’s prices, that still seems very cheap, but for THEN, it had almost tripled in one shot! People were SO angry and upset! Imagine if tomorrow the price of gas went to $8.50 per gallon and you’ll get the idea.
