1980 mustang vs 2025 mustang is what i usually use. in the past 12 years my price per KWh electricity costs have doubled.

in the mid 90s you could open a CD (certificate of deposit at a bank or credit union) and get 9% or more APY. savings accounts had ~4% interest.

in the mid 90s a gallon of gasoline in Los Angeles county was $0.899 in the summer and less than that any other time. It's closer to $4.50 now.
