When I was in high school in the 60's, I worked at a gas station. Gas was 28 cents back then. People never filled up. They would come in and ask for a couple dollars! Plus they got their oil, water, and air checked not to mention I cleaned their windshield! Now you would be lucky if a couple of dollars would buy a half gallon!
In North Georgia we are paying $3.65 for 10% and $3.85 for 100% gas. What is your area ripping you off for? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Attached image(s) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) It's been north of $4 per gal regular here in SoCal for weeks now, & last week the jacked $0.25 in a couple of days! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) 60's in gas station also means you remember the 70's gas rationing lines! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I had bought my Dad's 69 Pontiac 4dr Ventura with a 400cid auto for college 70-74, in which I sat in those lines, which was part of the reason for moving to a sports car with better mpg ASAP after college- leading to my 73 914-2.0 purchase in Dec. 75! More Fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) ... & the second crisis in the late 70's was much less painful! |
