And if you don't think that transportation prices affect everything we buy, you're um, an I**ot When I was a more militant bicyclist I used to ride everywhere, even the DZ. I could throw my rig and a few six packs of beer on my BOB Yak trailer, ride 12 miles to the DZ, jump, drink lots, and ride home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,046 #11 March 12, 2008 Something a little closer to home: I made my first jump in Feb '64. A 12,500 ft jump cost $5.25 & the average salary in '64 was ~$6,000. Today the average salary is ~$30,000 which would mean that same jump would be $31.50 today. Gasoline was about $0.30 gallon which would be $1.80 today. So driving your car is way up & jumps are much cheaper. What is more important? Should make for some good discussion around the dz bonfire this coming Saturday evening.

sharimcm 0 #18 March 13, 2008 QuoteNothing to add...just shamelessly postwhoring... Hey, at least you made it through 7 posts. I will add that gas prices here in Austin, TX are at $3.15/gal. for unleaded. I'm lucky if I can find it for $3.09. Thankfully, my del Sol gets good gas mileage (28-35 mpg) even if it does have a small tank (10.5 gals).

BillyVance 34 #20 March 13, 2008 It's about the same here in central Alabama - $3.07 to $3.13. I'm expecting to see it go up to maybe $3.50 by Memorial Day. Still, that's way better than Europe.
