But how much did your dad make per hour? Back in those days, that $5 fillup might have represented an hour's work.
Today, I can still go more than 300 miles on a $20 bill (though it looks like I'm only going to make it about 3 weeks on the last $20, instead of my usual month...), and fill my tank (about 700 miles of driving) for less than what I make for an hour's work.
