I started driving in 1999, and I remember it took about 11 bucks to fill up the Tempo. *sigh* and that would last me like 2 weeks because all I did was go to school and back.
Then, not even three years ago I remember bitching about it taking close to 17 bucks to fill up my SE Contour. Now I *wish* it would only take 17 bucks to fill up the SVT.
