Gas was $.589 a gal

Gas was $.399 for my 1964 Studebaker.

$.399/gallon must have been around 1920 or so here in Sweden. It's almost $10/US gallon here now.  :thumbdn:

When bread was 25 cts a loaf, and an egg had the same price.

Now a simple bread is around 2 euro, more than 17 times as expensive, and an egg costs 20 cents at the most. Not even twice as expensive.

Remember when cans of food were 16 ounces, not 14.5 ounces and tuna was 6 and 1/2 ounces, then 6 ounces, now 5 ounces.  Oh wait that was 2 years ago.

When I moved cross-country from Florida to Idaho in 1999 I filled up my gas tank for $0.99 a gallon, when I arrived it was $1.10 and hasn't dropped back below since.  I'm paying $3.39 a gallon now at the cheapest place in town :(

I started driving (or got my license; I could drive when I was 13) in 1989. Then it costed a little less than a dollar a litre here. One US gallon is 3.8 litres.  :thumbdn:

The parish (county) run hospital actually allowed drinking if you were a patient and the doctor prescribed it. This was in the 1980's.
