“And much more frequent.”

In high school I worked at a gas station and always got mad when people would put in, say, $5.00 of gas. My parents always filled up the tank when getting gas, so I also did back then (and still do). What got me mad was the guy putting in $5.00 paid the same regardless of what the price of gas, when we had to pay more if the price went up.

It wasn’t until I was in college that I figured out that they weren’t doing any better than us.

When I was in college, I only put $5 into the tank. Of course, back then gas was maybe fifty cents a gallon. But the main reason I limited it to $5 was my father told me I could put $5 a week on his Exxon card.
