I remember my dad handing the gas attendant 2 bucks and saying, "Fill-er up."

Yes it was, and when gas went up to 30 cents a gallon, I was outraged.

Yeah, me too. But back then, $.25 would buy what costs about $2.25 today.

Think back to what a loaf of bread or a pound of hamburger cost back then.

Also, think back to what a three-minute coast-to-coast telephone call cost back then.

And of course - back then - the richest man in the world couldn't have an iPhone, or an MRI.
