Gallon of Gas
Saturday, July 26th, 2008It is impossible to pick up
a newspaper and not see the price of a gallon of gas mentioned somewhere.
In the summer of 2008, it is foremost on everybody’s mind. According
to Myron Gushlak, a Canadian investment banker, people may be over-reacting to
the price of gas in the United States. If we assume, for the sake of argument,
that gas cost $1 a gallon in 1975, it may surprise you to know that it costs
about the same today in actual spending power taking into consideration the
cost of living increases over the past thirty-three years. If you use the “value consumer bundle?
which is the average expenditure of consumer units, (a number the federal
government bandies about) a dollar in 1975 is equivalent to $4.58 today. This
is a modest estimate. Myron further points out that if you use the federal
government’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) index per capita, a dollar in 1975 is
equal to $6.04 today. That number
makes gasoline cheaper today than in ?75 .
