Yep. The point I was trying to make is that the price of oil is not much different today than it was in the early 80s. Ammunition prices are MUCH higher than they were in the 80s, so the increase in ammunition prices cannot all be attributed to higher fuel costs.
Besides which, he's comparing crude prices in 2007 to a period of record (or near-record, to lazy to verify) highs. I think it would be more illuminating to fill in the years between 1982 and 2007, personally. No need to spoil the mystery, of course, I'm looking at a graph of it right now (1970 to 2007).
So what you're really saying, sasquatch, is that oil today is at least somewhat cheaper than that other time oil was obscenely expensive. Yay?
Though yes, rising fuel costs are only a small part of the rising cost of ammunition.
