I'm guessing the same gas today would be around $5.50 per gal. or more.........
I hear 110 octane leaded is over 8 bucks a gal.,depending on where you get it......

That's still only $123.75 more per 55 gal drum. There are plenty more expensive things to think of when you go racing, especially if a drum lasts one season. Nevertheless, it all adds up.
I guess my point is that you'd be on a worn shoestring if the price of gas was going to put you off the track.
