Gas and such - 21:13

When I first started driving back in winter 2002 gas was just above a dollar per gallon - in Texas.  I began working my first job shortly after this, Spring 2003, minimum wage was $5.15 an hour and I was making $5.75.  So basically at that time the average high school kid could work one hour and purchase five gallons of gas with the money earned in that hour.  Skip forward to April 2011; minimum wage is $7.25 and gas is hovering around $3.75 per gallon.  You do the math.  Poor kids.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLYOj7C9KfI
