When I started driving in the late 1950's a gallon of the Lowest Octane Leaded (Reg.) gas was 20-cents.
My Dad's annual income then was $5000......and, this income was considered an average "comfortable"
amount, nationwide.

Now....50 years since, a so-called "average comfortable" income is about $50,000....so, $2.00/gallon gas
is reasonable.

But, $3.00/gallon is a little higher than the 10 x factor in the scale of living that we have seen these past
50 years.
