My first job was working as a fuel attendant at a gas station in 2002-03. I remember Geo Metros on road trips stopping and filling for $13-$16! Try $40+ these days.
In fall of 2002, I drove a 1980 Chrysler Cordoba with a 5.2L V8. My first fill was $5 after driving 31 miles (worked out to be 16.5 MPG(US)) and I thought that was expensive. Guess what?? My last fill of the miserly Geo Metro worked out to be 38.9 miles travelled for that same $5 in fuel! Less than 8 miles extra per $ spent on fuel!
