Got a notice the 12v battery for my Mav in my Amazon shopping cart dropped almost $25. Still can't get used to the price of batteries.

I remember when the price of an auto battery corresponded to the number of months warranty, ie $72 for a 72 month battery.

I used to "return" Mom's empty milk bottles ( she was not amused) and get a 6 oz Coke and a candy bar for the 10 cent deposit.

In 1978 every morning after clocking in at work I purchased a cup of coffee from the vending machine,15 cents, a Hostess cinnamon roll, 25 cents, and a pack of Winstons, 55 cents.And a pack of cigarettes for "my mom" was $1 and the matches were free
My first "mid-sized" truck was $7995.
And I am only in "mid-life".
Trucks were what you bought when you wanted basic transportation. Cars were too expensive.
Cheapest gas I ever pumped myself was .739 / gallon.
Though, to be fair, I bought E85 85% ethanol for 85 cents a gallon a few times at pump "grand openings" in the corn belt in the 2010's.
