$16.83!
That's what I paid today to fill up the gas tank on my wife's car. I did
have a 90 cent per gallon discount from my purchases at a food store,
but, still...

I haven't filled up a car's gas tank for that kind of money since I was
dating girls who *might* let you kiss them after the 6th date.

That was during the GHWB administration?
(gas at a tad less than a buck)

You must have had bad luck with girls. In the early 70s they were
pretty "easy" and gas was less than half a buck. Five bucks would
pretty much fill up my Corvette. (13-14 gallons)

We hit 18.9 cents in 1971 when I worked at a Union 76 station.
I was 16 at the time, a young lady named Anita (19 yrs old) stopped in
near closing time. She ask if I was doing anything after work, then said
come over at 10:30pm. That was my 2nd, third and fourth time.
Oh, not that one night :-)
Turned out there was a problem though, her husband worked nights.
It wasn't the night work it was the husband!
