Now I don't like $3.00 a gallon anymore than anyone else, however lets look at it another way. When I was a kid and got a job on the farm I got $1.50 for driving tractor. This was in the early 60s. People told me that was "great pay for a kid, as much as a lot adults made". Well you could buy about 6 gallons for that at that time. Well now good pay is $15 to 20, about 6 gallons again. It is roughly the same, 6 gallons for an hours pay. I still don't like $3 gas though.
