OK, now let's go WAY back.

My very first car (high school) was a little four cylinder Austin Healey Sprite.

You had to use "high test," or what we would call premium today because of its high compression engine.

It had an 8 gallon tank, but I didn't know that.

The first time I went into the gas station to fill up, I told the "attendent" who pumped the gas in those days -- no self serve -- that I wanted "$2.00 worth of high test."

It wouldn't fit.

At 21 cents per gallon, the most I could have paid to fill up was $1.68.

They had cars back then?
