My dad sold Sinclair, Flying A, then Mobil gas at his station when I was a kid. I spent a summer in the early '70's during the gas crisis selling a max of 10 gallons to a customer. Regular was $0.369 per gallon, premium was $0.399.

As regular is going for about $5 a gallon these days around here, that represents an increase of 1,255%. As that was 50 years ago, if you calculate the annual rate of return, it's only 5.35% annually, so gas wouldn't have made that good an investment. You should have bought Intel instead.
