Gas situation

[kent10sne1]

I do..   my dad would swap plates in texas so he could keep his truck filled up.. lol   back towns of texas, u would not see a cop for days..   funny thing is our local gas station, the owner had a farm nxt to ours, i told my dad, that he never checked.  so he stopped swaping plates.  lol   

i remember at 14 when i could drive (hardship drove combine and trucks for my granddads farm) gas was 0.20 gallon.  when i hit 17 it was like 25 maybe.. but 5 buck would keep my tank filled and i could get a moon-pie and an Dr.Pepper each morning before school, and the gun rack in my pickup had a 3030 and 306 loaded, never locked my truck.   ..  those where the days.     miss that simpler time.  best thing was the rock-n-roll back then is still top noch today.

I saw a Facebook post saying a lot of gas stations are limiting people to $10 or $15 fill ups.

Guess that breaks down to 5 gallons a person.

Who else remembers the odd/even days to purchase gas???

Yeah the gas crisis in the 70's

Nothing wrong with the good old days , Don.   we did not lock our doors, no zero tollerance or PC bull..  you got caught doing something , u got punished.  your parents did not try to coddle you, ..  we did not wear head gear when we rode bikes, sometimes not even motor bikes.  if u got a cut, you wiped it and keep playing.  we did not come inside till after dark, no cell phone, the only distracted driving was trying to flip your 8 track to get the other songs..  ac was rolling your window down..  yes.  you had to roll it down.   and the dim switch was on the floorboard. 

sorry, but i miss those days.  Pot and beer was really cheap,

yea, but we did not know anybetter..   my senior year i finally replaced mine with casseste ? cant spell , and a friend of mine had a recorder that would let us copy the 8 track onto the casseste .   one of those replaced a ton of 8 tracks.  i got back a ton of console space. lol

I remember as a kid, living in Italy.  You could not drive vehicles on Sunday's, on base or off.  We would ride our bikes all over the Italian town we lived in, but now we did it in the middle of the street.
  Ah, the good ol'days of actuall going outside to play!

@tcdawg  I was just thinking the other day about how I missed the bright light switch in the floorboard!

My wife was saying that in response to the Katrina shortage,  QT guarantees that they will never run out again.
I got gas at 2:45 pm for $2.39. About 1/4 the stations I passed on the way home were out of gas. If it won't be fixed until next week I'd estimate the number will be more like 90% of the stations will be out of gas.

Surprised they didn't try blaming terrorist for the outage.

A few pumps ran out down here in augusta, kind of surprised actually. I filled up diesel for 2.15 and I think wife's was 1.89 or 1.99

The qt in Acworth was put on Saturday night.  The one on hwy 41 in Marietta had premium and diesel, but not the cheap stuff, thus morning.
