GAS WARS TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
This caught my eye recently in our Remember When column on the editorial page: Twenty-five years ago local consumers were upset over gas wars being waged in Plumas County. Prices in 1983 varied from a low of $1.29 per gallon to a whopping high of $1.43 a gallon. Let's do the math from then to now, based on a 200-mile trip, let's say to Reno for shopping. Assume that then your vehicle got 10 miles to the gallon, your tab for gas - at an average rate somewhere between the cheapest and most expensive - would have been about $27. Today, that same trip will cost about $60, assuming you get something in the neighborhood of 15 miles to the gallon. That's just one of countless reasons why it truly pays to support your local businesses and shop here at home!
