I worked for the Hudson Oil Co. when I was 18. There was a "gas war" that
year. Prices got down to .249/gal. Four gallons for a buck!! BUT - I was
only making $2.10 an hour then. I'm making ten times that now and the gas is
only eight times as much.
How much are you paying for botled water? If you buy the good stuff, it
figures to $21 a gallon.
