Those were the days.

There's a gas station in town that has been closed for some time but the sign is still advertising Regular at $2.859/gal. 

The truck has a 36 gallon tank.

Normally, I fill up when it's about 1/2 empty-- it hurts less. But what with driving to MEM and being anxious to get back to the Farm, I waited.

When the Farm is on Full-- that is, when all of the tanks of the various pieces of gas-powered equipment plus the truck & Daughter C's car plus the reserve tanks are full-- ... . WOW. And we don't even have a tractor. I feel sorry for Mr. Cotton Farmer. I'm glad cotton did well last year because it's going to take a lot of money to pay for the gas to plant this year's crop. (Some calculations on this here.)
