.........Countdown to starvation

Ah, the good old days!! I remember during the gas price wars here in S. Texas the gas was selling for 15.9 cents per gallon. We would collect used Coke bottles off the side of the road and get 5 cents per bottle when we turned them in at the store. Didn't take long to get a tank full of gas!! We could cruise around all night on 25 FREE coke bottles. The quart sized Coke bottles got you 10 cents!!!! Life was GOOD!!

Wow, I remember the gas when I first started buyin it @ ~.97/G. 1985? I remember that price because it was "Ultra 94" octane for 97 cents. I think the cheap chit was ~.86. I thought the 94 would make my car go faster so I bought it on the weekends. Just a few years prior to that we c'\ould return a Ralphs grocery cart from our neighborhood and collect a dime for each one. Then walk next door to Thrifty's and buy a single scoop ice cream for .10. I'm amazed we weren't all fat after the summers.
