These types of posts always frustrate me. Not because the thinking employed makes any sort of economic sense, but because people try to make points based on a limited (at best) understanding of inflation.
Consumer preferences change from time to time; the % of expenditures allocated towards gasoline has decreased since 1978. Which means your reference to 1978 is meaningless.
