I am older than a lot of you and I remember the gas pump wars between Shell, Phillips and Mobil Oil in the mid 60s. I can remember Paying $0.23 per gallon. For $10 you could put gas in the car take a girl out on a date to McDonalds and a drive inn movie with sodas and pop corn and still have change.
Today Gas for the date $20 if everything is close, Dinner (You cannot take a girl to McDonald's if you want a second date.) $50+, movie and popcorn with soda $50
Glad I don't have to do that anymore
