4 gallons and get change back? Hell, I remember when you could get 5 gallons for a dollar. Yep, twenty cents a gallon. You could fill most tanks for 4 dollars.

And it was that price for years. It never went up. But once it started going up, it’s never stopped.

It started up about the time we abandoned the gold standard.

Coincidence?
