In 2000, the minimum wage was $5.15 an hr, and gas was about $2.20 a gallon.
in 2008, the minimum wage is $5.85 an hour, and gas is about $3.50 a gallon.
In 2000 a fella would have to work 6 hours and 20 minutes before taxes to fill his 15 gallon tank, and today, the same fella would have to work just 3 minutes short of a 9 hour shift to fill the same tank. Really sucks for the little guy, no?
