When I was a kid my dad had a 51 Ford pickup truck with a broken gas
gauge. He didn't have a written checklist, but every time he drove the
truck he put $1 worth of gas in it. (the good old days)
One day he couldn't get the whole $1 in.

If you asked for a dollars worth of gas today the guy would just fart
in your window ... there you go!


I worked in a gas station my senior year of high school. Kids would come
in and pool their money to get 30-50 cents worth of gas. Enough for the
evening. 21-29 cents a gallon.
