Wrong. The gas people have learned from them.
In 1969-70 I worked for Alta-Dena Dairy. Back then a half gallon of milk was $.50. I could get gas for about $.40/gal.
Milk has always been more expensive than gasoline. The exception is if I go to Ralph's and buy two gallons of milk, then with the bulk discount and my Club Card it is about the same price.
All things considered (COLA, OPEC, wars). gasoline is still a pretty good value.
Unfortunately, my cappuccino machine does not have a setting for steaming gas to top my lattes.
