    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.
