[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1977870, member: 9299"] In my locale, the '73 embargo caused gas prices to climb to the unbelievable 50 cent mark, for prior, we were paying about 33 cents/gal. Later in 1978, gas spiked higher, and I recall a conversation with my brother about gas going to the unheard of mark of $1/gal. At the time, it was costing about 80-88 cents, but he said almost exactly what you recall, "People will not pay $1. It will never go that high." LOL. As for reloading and shooting supplies, my bad habit of purchasing clearance, going out of business, after season, yard, and estate sales through the decades is returning LARGE dividends. It's a nice feeling looking through the many storage racks and seeing all the 1# powder cans marked $5-$10 and 8# marked $40-$75, jacketed rifle and pistol bullets with $3-$5/box, primers at $50/5k, boxes of 500 lead pistol bullets at $12-$17 box, and so on and so forth. And my wife always questioned why I kept purchasing these things? :cool: [/QUOTE]
