I ran across this article today at Morningstar.

There is a link in first paragraph that opens to a table of average expense ratios for various classes of mutual funds from 1990-2009.

Some of those numbers certainly got my attention.
Back before I read enough investing books to understand how much "costs matter" over the life of a mutual fund based portfolio, I will admit to owning a few higher expense ratio funds. They have long departed from my holdings.
