    Oil hypocrisy

    ------------------------ ...and a NEW '55 Ford 2 dr hardtop with all extras was about $2450... Diesel was like 20-25 cents in bulk for farm use. Now get this: people were somewhat upset because 15 years earlier, before WW2, all these things were much cheaper. In 1939 my folks bought one...
