Channel surfing last night, I happened across one of my favorite movies of all time, Smokey and the Bandit. Great, mindless fun with Burt Reynolds.

But what really caught my attention was the gas prices we see along the way. Unleaded, 38 cents a gallon. Diesel, 49 cents a gallon. Amazing.

Another movie that I noticed this in was "Witness."
Great movie, at least in MHO.

Watching it recently pointed out two things that really nailed it being a few decades out of date were, the gas prices, and the use of pay phones.
