Reader: Gas prices are not as high as you think they are
Placeholder Image
Editor: Gas has gone up to $3.68, but that is the same as 1981's inflation-adjusted $1.41. No change over 34 years while driving is much safer if you look at traffic fatalities in both years. Four dollars a gallon in 2008 can only be compared with inflation-adjusted $4.40 in 2014 - not even close to today's prices in Statesboro.
