Yup it might be a little high, but just give it a year or two and it will be spot on,

I always say that when we go away together- my wife does all the driving - I just get to hold the steering wheel.

Well let’s say $ 1.80 average then, at about 15 miles to gallon of gasoline on your trucks average. Now divide 15 into how many miles about you have driven through the years on wood and then multiply it by $ 1.80 equals about how much gasoline you have not had to buy for your trucks since you started to drive on would except for starting up, and hybrid driving fuels being used. Because you are not a 100% DOW driver when driving.
Lets face it you have saved a lot of monies driving all of these years DOW everyday. No Bragg Here Just The Facts. It really adds up when you are a full time every day DOW driver.

Mr. Wayne … I remember that when gasoline was $1.50 per gallon, everything else was less, too. Bread was probably less than $2 a loaf for the good stuff. Lunch for two could be had for $10 or so, not $20 or even $30 as it is this day. Minimum wage was $5-$6 an hour, not $12-$15. an hour.
My point being that the buying power you preserved for things YOU determined to save or spend for, not being vaporized by runaway inflation, and / or going in the pockets of wealthy corporations and through Greedy Gov’mint’s Taxes. 
Edit: Found this chart titled: “Here’s how much the (18 years ago) 2004 gasoline price of $1.88 would be worth over time, compared to the actual price from that year”. Doesn’t even touch on this latest round of insanity.

I remember the first time I drove my 1979 Toyota by myself with my license I payed 1.99$. I have never in my life seen under 2$ since that day and I was making 7.25/hr minimum wage working at the local farm store after school driving truck spinning wrenches and operating equipment. My dad in the local operators union doing the same thing making prevailing wage 54$/hr. If only I knew about woodgas back then the money I would have saved!
