Yes, gas was cheap in those years. Average US wage was about $1300 a year as well and people worked about 15 hours more a week than they do now. They also spent about 35% of their income on food as opposed to be about 5-7% today.
The number of people who owned cars was also a lot less and oil was a lot cheaper to produce back then.
Get a clue.

I've been ignoring him for yeas Mith. The only reason he does it here is because if he does it to the faces of people he knows he will get laughed at.
