I know a lot of you guys are real proficient in looking up info on the the internet. My shop has not raised its labor rates in over three years and I wanted some ammo in the fight the insurance company to pay my increased labor rate. For example the cost of gas,milk,bread, and baby formula in 2005 vs 2008. LOL I had to throw the baby formula out there cause man oh man $25 a can really hurts.

Unless I'm missing something, That chart is a crock of s@%t. Gas was under 90 cents in the early 80's

It's really something isn't it? Notice how they keep it under lock and key in most places?
