I'm on fire now. I worked at a car wash in 1974 for $1.61 per hr. US minimum wage and gasoline was $0.31 a gal.

That makes gas out of line today. 31 cents compared to
$1.61 is a lot better for the worker than $5.15 compared to $3.00 a gal.
Even $3.00 compared to $10.00 the workers are much worse off today.

Thank you. I just wanted some kind of a comparison.
