I'm sure we all enjoy the photo and complaining about current prices but I'm not really sure the photo makes people think about the results of those 1970s prices. I don't want to get into a discussion of those results but simply having a moan about not being able to afford a Porsche or fill the gas tank doesn't get us much further. OK, I'll shut up now and go and have a think about how a single photo could make us all think a bit more.

Excellent point.

Perhaps people ought to consider the broader perspective, as well.  Russia invaded and is lying waste to a sovereign nation.  This has led to sanctions and other supply disruptions, driving up oil prices.
