That price of gas in todays dollars chart is probably correct, but if you read down they sure have some highly questionable comments, like this statement:

What a bunch of bull. Competition to best their competitors in all areas is stiff. No manufacture would ever turn down the opportunity to increase fuel mileage (especially an entire mpg!!!) just to "save $18". I never heard of zfacts before, but now I know they pull it out of their butt as they write it.
