In 1987 I was in high school working at a gas station. One of my jobs at the end of the night was to drop the receipts and cash off at the owner's house. I would pump $5 worth of gas in my '69 Chevy pickup and drop a note in the bank bag saying so. The owner never said anything, but my co-workers acted like I was robbing a bank.

You should have told your co-workers that he deducts that from your paycheck.

Maybe they were just buying a little Supreme to freshen up the tank.

At 16 I was guilty of this.
At 16, $5 would get you a good 6+ gallons though

One summer, I worked highway construction out of La Marque. My mentor on that job was a gigantic black dude from Dickinson. This guy was 6'5" and he was the baby of the family. His older brother was 6'7" and his oldest brother was 6'9" and went by the name "Big Dad".

This guy had a ton of great stories and a lot of good life philosophy and lessons learned that he didn't mind sharing. Especially when it came to dealing with teenage daughters. So, here's what he told me about putting gas in your car.

Every bit of philosophy he'd lay out always began with... "Now look at dis ry-che-ar"

"See, I don't lea(ve) no gas in my ride. Cuz, if you gonna borrow my ride, you gonna put some gas in the mother"

We do that when one tank is really low and we are taking both cars the next day or two to Krogers for fuel when we have like .80 off of the 35 gallons we get between the cars. It is a pain but we save like 50 a month sometimes and we use that for a date night
This.

I've done it when I realize I don't have enough gas to make it home from work, and it's 0 degrees and windy outside. I'll put 2 gallons in that mofo just to make it home.. I can get a full tank the next day when it's warmer.

We do this in December when they offer 4x points on gift cards for Christmas and we get up to $1 off pretty easily. We fill up both cars and I take all of my gas cans so I can get through the summer mowing as well. Outside of that, we rarely get anything more off since we primarily shop at HEB and only go to Kroger for stuff we need that night since it's closer.

I do when I forget to fill up my car either near home or near work and have to get enough to get where I'm going.. Gas on I-10 is expensive and I don't want to have to spend any more time than necessary out of my car there.

Another one of my favorites was when he told me about Andre Ware.

"Now, look at dis ry-che-ar. You ever think that the little kid, who comes over and steals **** from your your house is gonna grow up and win the Highs-Mann trophy?"

I don't have the patience to stand there and fill up, and usually don't unless I'm going to Houston. I usually $10 myself to death throughout the week..

When I was in High School and college there were definitely a few times that I did that. I didn't have a credit card and was sometimes low on funds.

I did that quite often in HS but gas was $1/gal.
