maybe hes making it all up so you guys will think he's cool -

Bingo

Although, I made about 12k a year my junior and senior years of high-school working my ass off. Not a lot but it goes a long way when your only responsibilities are gas @1.25 a gallon, truck insurance, and my phone bill my SR year.

Think in other ways that someone receives assistance. He's trying to fit in.

That sounds about exactly like my junior and senior years, but you left out the beer, that was a big part of my budget back then. I even remember a time gas prices dropped to .99/gal for a week or two.

I paid $0.99/gal a few times. It seems like $1.20 was pretty normal.

$20 for a tank of gas and a pack of smokes in high school. WTF happened?!?

Cheapest I recall was 2002 I paid 1.25 a gallon.

It was considerably cheaper when I started driving in the 1900's

That's an AB saying. Cracks me up every time he goes into a story from "way back in the 1900's"

This reminds me of Aunt Betty in so many ways!

Yup.

I had a suburban that got 8mpg with a 42 gallon tank that I could afford to fill up twice a night if the booze cruising got intense.ahhh the goodold days.

[FlintRiverFowler]

I started driving in 03 or 04 and gas was that low. I could last a whole week on 20-30 bucks.

[assateague]

I think it was around $1.10 a gallon, and smokes were $1.05 a pack. (What the fuck happened there?) A case of Coors Light was $8.99, and I was a happy motherfucker.

I can still do that with my truck getting 9-10 mpg, however my work commute is only 2 miles.

The cheapest I remember Marlboro lights at was somewhere around $2.40 a pack

Heck, even into college they were pretty cheap. I probably still have an ashtray a chick made for me in ceramics class. In the bottom, she etched in "Hey, I have a hundred and ten pennies, anybody want to go to Turkey Hill?" (Turkey Hill is a PA convenience store, for the record.)

When I quit, cigarettes in a machine were 70 cents, and when they went up to a $1, I thought everybody would quit. Absolutely flips me out that people pay what they do for tobacco now.

I quit the day I joined the army. Never started again. It was 34 years ago.
