This is true, but explain that to the kids nowadays. Schools dropped many important classes over the years like economics and civics.

Gas prices?

I completely agree. In my day, there were many classes designed to prepare the student to survive in the elements. 
Not only were shop classes offered for practical hands on experience but classes to understand financial success such as vocations and economics. I was in an advanced sixth grade class. Each student was given an adult scenario.... marital status, children, vocation, annual income, outstanding debt etc. Budgeting funds and living below means was the goal. At the end we figured our taxes. A very practical and enlightening phase of the class for a sixth grader.

Mapped: The Gas Price in Every U.S. State
Oklahoma has the cheapest gas at $2.57 per gallon.
www.visualcapitalist.com
Just paid $3.04 here.
The local quick rip where I buy my gas had regular for $2.59 a gallon today. I'm burning $2.75 gas from the same establishment.
Four and a half months later local gas prices have slowly increased. I filled my truck yesterday with $2.99 a gallon gas.
It's about $2.60 here in Middle TN. Darling Bride filled up at Costco while she was in town and it was $2.29.
$2.55 the last time I filled up.
Gas prices have been steady since my last $2.99 post in April. Today it is $2.97... woopie

Good grief.
The highest gas prices in the country are about to take a hard ratchet up.

California gas prices set to surge as new clean air regulations take effect
These new regulations, kicking in on July 1, are expected to increase the cost of fuel in California by 65 cents per gallon.

I paid $2.50/gallon at Costco in Middle Tennessee yesterday...
I'm still paying $2.97 and I guess I should be happy.
I was up town this weekend and passed a number of QuikTrip gas stations. (largest retailer in my area) They have a corporate headquarters here and normally all of their station's gas prices are the same. I couldn't help but notice that pricing varied as much as a dime across the different stations. Maybe prices at the pump were the same but their signage didn't reflect it. Whatever, it is highest in my burb just five miles South of town. $2.98
