Yes, I understand. Everything was cheaper back then. It's the fact that the hillbilly never topped it off to $5.00 that tells us of the simplicity of the people that will now be in the main characters' lives for the next three days...

And then he gave the dude $40 to drop off their cars! That's eight tanks of gas! Dayum.

The sad part is that today one gallon of gas costs more than it took to fill up his truck :( lol
(And holy shit, that truck!! I want it so bad!!)
