SCORE!

SOMETIMES IN LIFE...YOU FEEL LIKE YOU JUST SCORED!

AND SCORED BIG!!!

WHEN I WAS LITTLE, I REMEMBER GAS COSTING

$.19 A GALLON.

THEN, IT WAS $.29 FOREVER!!!

IN HIGH SCHOOL, IN THE MID-SEVENTIES,

WE HAD A NATION-WIDE ENERGY CRISIS!

THERE WERE EVEN PLACES WHERE YOU COULD ONLY

BUY GAS ON A CERTAIN DAY!

THIS WAS DETERMINED BY THE LAST DIGIT OF YOUR

LICENSE PLATE. 

 EVEN NUMBERS...MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, SATURDAY.

ODD NUMBERS...TUESDAY, THURSDAY, SATURDAY.

CLOSED ON SUNDAYS.

AND THE PRICE OF GAS ROSE TO $.45.

(BUT, WE COULD PUT $.50 TO $1.00 IN THE TANK,

AND COULD DRAG MAIN STREET FOREVER!!!)

WELL...GAS PRICES WENT UP FOREVER!

AT ONE POINT, GAS COST A LITTLE OVER $4.00 A GALLON!!!

THIS LAST YEAR, THE COST OF GAS HAS BEEN

GOING DOWN!

I USED TO PAY $35-$40 TO FILL UP MY

12 GALLON TANK CAR EACH TIME.

TODAY, I SCORED!!!

I HAD $.60 OFF EACH GALLON AT SMITH'S.

I PUT IN 11.511 GALLONS OF GAS, FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF

$13.00!!!

LOVE IT!!!

(HOWEVER, NOW THE STATE LEGISLATURE WANTS

A HUGE GAS TAX TO RAISE MONEY!  BLEH!!!)
