Put $10 in My Truck. Unlike the Good Ol’ Days Doesn’t Put in Almost a Full Tank.

The otherΒ 4948441day, I was driving through Greenville, and my gas tank was a little low. I stopped at Cumberland Farms to get a little bit of gasoline to make it home — basically $10 of gas, or 2.7 gallons at the price of $3.61 a gallon. That literally put in about a 1/8th of a tankful — my Silverado pickup has a 26 gallon gas tank.

Back when I was in High School at Greenville Central School in 2001, you could get a gallon of gas for $1.10 cents. My first car, a Plymouth Sundance had a 14 gallon gas tank, and you could get almost a full tank for $10 back in 2001.

To think how much the world has changed since then. My truck certainly is a fair bit bigger then my first car, and gas prices are a lot higher. In some ways things are more fun now, and someways less. I guess the world has just changed.
