I remember this: a long time ago in a galaxy far away.

Yup, and that 30.9 is higher than the price is today in my area, if adjusted for inflation. 31 cents in 1959 equals $3.34 today. Today's price here is $2.64, up 11 cents in the past week. Previously, it had been $2.53 since September.

I would just wave and say, "Thank God!" I saw one again today. They are butt-ugly IMO. Look MUCH better in pix than in real life.

We had those prices in the early 70's in Minneapolis. Occasionally a price war at 5 gallons for a buck. Those were the days

In 1970, 30.9 cents equals 2.51 in today's dollars. Until this week, I was paying $2.53. I like looking at old prices, but it's not an apples to apples comparison unless adjusted for inflation. Yes, those were the days, but not because of the prices.

I could almost laugh at this. The engine died in my DiL's car. I ask how often she gets the oil changed. She said when the oil light comes, I get it changed. $10,000 dollars later, she has a new engine. True story. Sad thing is this is the second engine.

Reminds me of the blonde who came into the parts store and said...

"I need a 710 cap."

"A what?" the counter guy says.

"A 710 cap."

"Let's go out to your car and show me what you need."

They raise the hood and she points.

"Ohhh, you mean a new OIL cap!"

Like I said, I could almost laugh. The first time they blew an engine was on the Interstate. She was driving and said she intended to get off at the next exit to see why the temp gauge was pegged out. They didn't make it that far. Her Dad picked them up, I called and had the S10 towed to my mechanic. So I paid for the first engine (they were still in school). Now they work and make good money and pay for their own engines. Maybe that will help in the education department. But we do gift them with AAA every year.
