I'll go you one or two better.  Wheelus AFB, Tripoli, Libya, 1965.  Gas 
tanked in from the U.S. $ .15c per gallon.  A quart of 30-WT oil, $.22c, 
Pack of Salems, $ .15 per pack, $1.40 per carton.  Quart of Jack Daniels at 
the Class VI store, $1.96.  We used to go to Italy with a suit case load of 
cigarettes on leave, and live like kings, guess what a hotel room in Rome, 
or Naples goes for now?
