    Yeah I guess... I miss the days of spending less than $20 and filling up the car... now I'm looking at almost $30 sometimes even over that to fill up.... at least minimum wage is one thing that has gone up...

    It was like .65 cents here in Douglasville, but I used to hang out around Austell Rd a lot and the Racetrack closest to South Cobb Dr. was like .50-.59 cents. I miss the 7 dollar fillups.

    $0.69 for 87 when I started driving back in '98. I could fill up my '79 Civic with premium for like $12 and then drive for a month because it got 40 something MPG.

    x2.

    The first time i ever started paying attention to gas prices was when i started buying it, and for about 10 bucks i could fill up my 95 civic DX. It was beautiful. I spent 60 bucks filling up a 98 civic and a 99 cavalier last night, and still have to put gas in my truck. LAME.

    Parents would give me 20 bucks to buy gas and buy food. That doesn't work anymore...
