I remember gas in the late seventies around $1.30 per gallon. I think I was making $6 or $7 dollars per hour and going to school.

In the 70s...?

I made $5.45 as a lifeguard manager in high school in the early 2000s.

Where were you working that you made more than I did 30 years later?

Wife just texted me she paid $4.09/gallon at Buccees this morning. Then followed up with a second text that simply said "AT BUCCEES!"

….she is notifying you that she also made quite a few purchases at Buc-ee's (jerky, kolaches, t-shirts, beaver nuggets, etc), but you are so focused on the gas price that you won't notice the $150 spent inside.

$4.28/g for E85 in Rochester MN right now, $4.57 for 87 that doesn't have ethanol in it.

Ah the past. When I was young my sister would drive me around in a BMW Issta Bug. It was a two seater two cylinder mini car which had one door in front. The gear shift lever was on the the left as the steering column swung forward when you opened the door. It had no gas pump as it was a gravity feed system. It was capable of going fifty miles an hour if you raced the engine at top speed. It had two mid sized tires in front and two lawnmower sized tires about a foot apart in the back. It was small enough and light enough that two people could pick it up and move it around. Which often happened to my sister when she parked in the high school parking lot.

Its saving grace was that it was very cheap to fill up. We never could get a $1.00 worth of gas in it at one time. Of course I am talking about .38 cents a gallon. Gee that means that today it would cost $8.00 or less per the weekly fill up.

Instead of being reliant on Saudi oil, we'll be reliant on Chinese cobalt. Great plan there, chief.

Don't think the Saudi oil plan had the 10% for the "big guy" in it
