Yes, that 99 cents in '89 was more than your 2.06 this week. Or at least similar in price "What cost $.99 in 1984 would cost $1.83 in 2005. Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2005 and 1984, they would cost you $.99 and $0.53 respectively. " westegg.com www1.jsc.nasa.gov only goes to 2004 and shows 99 cents in 1984 equaling $1.80 in 2004. and minneapolisfed.org which has estimates up to 2006 shows 99 1984 cents as being equal to $1.93 now. ------- bigpicture.typepad.com Shows gasoline as being more expensive in 1984 than it was in 2005 (in inflation adjusted dollars) the all time highes in the modern era (ignoreing the very early days of gasoline when it wasn't a mass market product) where in 1981 and after Katrina in 2005 (for most of 2005 the prices where lower than in 1980 to 1982 or 1983)
