The other day I saw someone come in to the gas station and

[kairos12]

buy one gallon of gas. I noted his vehicle. Pretty good size SUV.

I noted this while sitting in my Prius eating beef jerky.

Contradiction. So my wife thinks.

[rsdsharp]

1. Did he put it into his vehicle, or into a gas can?

[kairos12]

2. Vehicle. Hilarious.

[rsdsharp]

10. Maybe he needed to go to the end of the block.

3. Years ago

When prices were up a guy with a Hummer was whining about the cost.
I controlled my mouth. Somehow.

[BlackSkimmer]

4. That makes no sense whatsoever.

Cool story though.

[sarisataka]

5. I have made a small gas purchase

To make sure I would not run out while going to a station I get a good discount. There I will fill up

[kairos12]

15. Many things make no sense.

Fake pockets for instance.

It happened.

6. Americans seem to like to bitch and moan about gas prices...

yet they are travelling at record setting numbers, both by car and plane.

[Hugin]

8. I watch that every day...

I keep wondering where they have to go that is so urgent.

[llmart]

9. What I always wonder is...

why these people with the huge houses and all the fancy furnishings and designer kitchens and baths and everyone gets their own bedroom where the kids sequester themselves from the rest of the family and have their own phones and TVs and computers in their rooms - why they are so anxious to get away from that house as much as possible?

[Hugin]

12. Exactly.

I admit I do like an automobile ride now and then. This is ridiculous.

They must have some holes to fill.

[llmart]

16. Yep.

"Holes to fill" sums it up nicely.

7. I remember when for the price of one gallon today,

you could buy over ten gallons. I remember gas wars as a kid when the price of a gallon was .25 cents.
Alas.....

[alphafemale]

11. Do you also remember when

They started selling sliced bread?

[panader0]

13. As a kid I lived in Morocco in '56 and '57.

No sliced bread, so my mom bought a cool bread slicer with a handle and big blade. You could adjust the
width.

[Hugin]

14. I only saw 0.25 once during a gas war.

Regularly it was around 0.40 or even 0.75 for premium.

[Mr.Bill]

17. Yes, I remember in the late 60s

gas was around 35 cents, but I also remember I was making $1.65 an hour.

[doc03]

18. Cigarettes were about 20 cents a pack then, now you can

pay $8. A two scoop ice cream cone was 10 cents, now
$5. I remember going to Micky D's and getting a fill o fish,
fries and a milk shake for 75 cents. What is that now $8?
I started working in a steel mill 1970 at $18 a day when I retired in 2010 I made $240.
