$5 on Pump 1

I was at my favorite place today and a guy came in and paid the cashier and said "I want $5 on pump 1".

When I was in high school this is how I always put cash in my car, $5 at a time because that was the most money I usually ever had at one time. But, then gas was only $1.20 a gallon so I could get over 4 gallons which would take me over 70 miles and in a town of 1200 people and no stop lights, that would take me a long way.

But, today at $2.95 a gallon, that same $5 would only get 1.6 gallons and that will only get you about 30 miles. I don't think I could afford to be a teenager today.
