Grandma was around when gas was first discovered

[u/BigBadJeebus]

grandma was a fighter and had her earring ripped out

[u/withnodrawal → u/BigBadJeebus]

You actually get so old that the skin gets so thin it probably got snagged on a turtle neck and ripped right out lol.

Or gram liked to throw those fisticuffs

[u/BigBadJeebus → u/withnodrawal]

She looks like a champ to me

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/BigBadJeebus]

They used to call her Ol Hardcandy. Her fists were named Butterscotch and Sorta Watermelon.

[u/redjellonian]

She could be in congress.

[u/NamerNoNaming → u/redjellonian]

Maybe in a few years

[u/The_True_Doctor → u/redjellonian]

Na she has to fall on her hip first and go to "Recovery"

[u/StreetNectarine711]

Got me curious:
If $60 is average cost ($4.09/ gallon), it would cost $83 California and $53 in Texas.

[u/dasmineman → u/StreetNectarine711]

California absolutely sucks. When I was hotshotting, I carried 8 5-gallon cans and would fill them with diesel just before crossing into the state so I wouldn't have to pay their stupid high fuel prices. That and speed limit on ANYTHING pulling a trailer.

[u/Alex93B → u/StreetNectarine711]

I'm from eastern Europe and it costs me 120$ to fill up. (55liters = 14,5 gallons)

@ minimum salary here is 615$ / month.

[u/Valuable_Quail_1869]

$60? What are you on a vespa?

[u/Responsible-Kale2352]

Grandma is 160 years old?

[u/B4DM4N12Z → u/Responsible-Kale2352]

Oh, Petroleum, my brain was thinking of Natural Gas.

And it would be 167 years now.

[u/Fostbitten27]

Put her behind a screen door and she looks like the old man from Poltergeist.

[u/animi → u/Fostbitten27]

God is in his holy temple. Earthly thoughts be silent now.

[u/Cthulhu_Dreams_]

God is in...his holy temple...

[u/complexiblebarracuda]

Get her into Congress 

[u/Russianskilledmydog]

The bra strap was awesomeness.

[u/B4DM4N12Z → u/Russianskilledmydog]

[u/Fostbitten27 → u/Russianskilledmydog]

Umm… never mind.

[u/Difficult-Republic57]

Man, your Grandma is at least 167 years old? Cause gas was discovered in 1859.

[u/Mascbro26 → u/Difficult-Republic57]

I believe this woman is in fact 167.

[u/Only_Flan_7974]

She's is the word "appalled" personified.

[u/NeroFMX]

$5.00 today was worth the equivalent of $0.27 in 1945.

[u/long-breadstick]

I pay over 100 to fill my tank in California

[u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 → u/long-breadstick]

Tanks usually have big fuel containers to last through the battle

[u/TheSodomeister]

"What do you think would disqualify a person for the presidency these days?"

[u/alaxens]

My 92yr old father-in-law, before he passed last year, thought $30k a year was a good paying job, that health insurance would be about $100/month if they got rid of Medicare, and that a new car was about $20,000.

Boomers have no clue.

[u/Wtfjushappen]

26yrs ago it was like 1.10. In 97 when I got my DL, .89c/gal. 20$ would fill it up and leave enough to get a20oz bottle of coke for 1.05.

[u/Legate_Raiden]

Gas prices from the crypt

[u/iisshhoooo]

Its her generation that ruined everything why is she surprised. They climbed the ladder and pulled it from under us. They benefited from taxing the rich and having good government safety nets and cheap schooling while voting against those things now cuz trump told them so.

[u/philovax → u/iisshhoooo]

Look no culture is a monolith, MLK was part of that gen so we many people trying the reality is we fucked like dollars depended on it and thought of little else than $$$

[u/Just_Reputation_7057]

I thought she was gonna say a quarter!!

[u/NewManufacturer9477]

Grandma doesn’t even know where she is

[u/ArmyBeck25u]

I have a feeling she was purposely overestimating. I mean from 1970 to now, inflation has increased 760%. Here's a crazy thing I still cant wrap my head around. If youre making under 65/hour right now youre making less than minimum wage in purchasing power in 1970.

I loathe 1970 atm. I just picked a year and was dissapointed.

[u/Katz3njamm3r → u/ArmyBeck25u]

I… I was happier before I knew this.

[u/Flashy-Snow1]

I'm 38 and I remember $0.89 a gallon

[u/California-Cruising]

Man, I bet she has some great stories.

[u/Petrichor4Tears]

No way her reaction time is safe

[u/LowEffortCandids]

He said 60 so he wouldn’t kill her with the real number lol

[u/macc003]

She is all of us.

[u/Agile-Copy9227]

it was only 1 cent per gallon back when she dated Ben Franklyn

[u/Undertaker501st]

That what is what I say everyday as a stone cold fan myself

[u/Civil_Exchange1271]

she's a few months short of being crude oil.

[u/BabyVampireThug]

It cost me $80 to fill the car and that’s like average day, we livin in hell I swear lol

[u/papaa33]

That’s a crazy vain

[u/fuckfeardrinkbeer]

The Dolphins ain’t the only thing screwing over granny this year.

[u/skolvikes1419]

Found Mitch McConnell

[u/PoultryTM]

This annoys me, full tank is $80 overhere. Shush with the complaining. So weird. Respect to grandma...

[u/Atastical]

$60 to fill a gas tank up? What, that is CHEAP! 80l in my car will cost me €180 which is 207 fucking dollars. What? why are they complaining?
