"it probably cost something like $6.00 to fill those gas tanks with 120 octane Sunoco 260".
I was just watching a Bogart movie where he stops in a high desert gas station, tells the guy to fill it up, and check the water, and check the oil and then, when the guy is finished Bogey hands hin a fiver and the guy counts back two dollars and twenty cents. When I was a kid and I got to fill the car up, I remember wondering what it would be like if the 'Cost' numbers spun faster than the 'Gallons' numbers. Oh crap! It's my fault that fuel prices are so high.
