  1. That ain't no joke anymore.
    The gas can I use for my lawnmowers and such cost me $27.50 to fill last week, BEFORE the price jumped another sixty cents a gallon.
    It would easily cost me over $15 just to fill the tank on my riding mower.
    Here's a clue as to how old I am, I remember when $5 worth of gas was a quarter of a tank in my 66 Chevy pickup.
    It was real gasoline too, none of this methanol mix crap.

    1. I remember when you could get almost 20 gallons of gas for $5 bucks.

  2. I remember working with my brother in law at a Walt's Gas Station in Lubbock Texas in the late 1960's. They had gas wars back then. I remember pumping gas into a car at 5 cents a gallon.

  3. I'm that Old? A ways back a Texaco station had a gas war with the other station in town, a Chevron. Price was $.16 cents per gallon. This was in the desert in Kalifornicka, about as far as you could get from a refinery to haul gas from. No pipelines.

  4. Ha! I feel like I've cheated The Man when I get out of the filling station with both kidneys.
