I don’t know what the min wage was in 1965 but it wasn’t anywhere near $2.

I remember min wage of $1.35 in the 1970s.

In California, IIRC, the minimum wage in 1965 was $1.65 which, at the time, would buy 8 gallons of regular gasoline at the corner Shell Station. I frequently bought "A dollar's worth" for my '55 Bel Air on my way to High School.

I don't know what gas is going for in SoCal these days but I would be willing to bet that $15 won't buy 8 gallons.
