When I started driving I was getting gas for 23.9 cents a gallon (Texas 1972). I remember my Dad getting gas during a gas war for 9.9 a gallon. I also vididly remember him complaining that it took "almost 6 whole dollars" to fill the Fury III.

My fill up yesterday was $41.00. Today as we passed the filling station my 14 year old was commenting about the price "do you think anyone pay $2.05 for the premium"? I let him know I do.
