My first rifle was a 308. I still have it. I was 16 and making less than $3/hr. Closer to $2.50.is it good that I have penny primers, or bad?
Nice picture remember those days. Sunoco 260 was 32 cents a gallon.
FAKE!
I can tell because if that was a REAL receipt with those prices, it would be YELLOW, not white!
Actually, was this their clearance?
Pining for “the old days” is an old man’s game, and it ignores reality. Even with gas prices at near-record highs, the cost to drive a mile is still HALF what it was “back in the day” (expressed as a percentage of income).
What difference does that make?
A gallon of gas costs about four times what it did in 1980 ($1.01) (the example pic).
Value of $1.01 1980 money in 2022:

Looks a WHOLE lot like the price of gas is almost exactly the same as it was in 1980 (adjusted for inflation).
Meanwhile, whatever you drive, it gets better mileage than the 1980 version of the same thing. So gas is cheaper now than it was "in the old days".
If your point is, you are paying more for gas in rural areas than in city areas... that was probably true in 1980, too.

I was in mace couple weeks ago and i asked how much 556 was. He said it's the same price per round no matter how many rounds you're buying. The guy next to me took his 1000 round case and put it right back on the pallet. I think it was $899.
