Those were the days huh? I was just telling my wife the other day, (she didn't have a license or a car until she was nearly twenty three) about the glory days of the $12-$14 fill-up. Or popping in $5 and driving around all night with my friends.

I filled up my Jeep this morning, $57.87. Yikes.

Then again, a the change from my floor boards used to get me a pack of smokes, and a large fountain drink. Now that costs between $6-$7.

I often wonder what it's gonna cost my kids to have fun.
