I can remember gas under .20 cents / gal when I was a little kid. It was a big damn deal when it hit .50 cents and when it hit $1 the pumps couldn't do that and it was sold by the half-gallon.

When i started driving a gallon of regular was $.90. It would briefly dip in the low 80's and spike to the mid 90's. Either gas was really expensive then or it is really cheap now.

I was real young but I remember when gas went up to that price. We could only get gas on odd/even days...last number of your license plate in relation to day of month. Gas lines were a good hour or more and were wrapped around city blocks.

When first started driving, it was 0.13 a gallon, the stations used to have wars to see who was the cheapest, pack of Marlboro's was .20 Cost less than $10 bucks to take a girl to a movie, have dinner, buy a pack of smokes and put gas in the car.

Used to pay 27 cents in 63-67 when going through St. Cloud, MN. They seemed to always have a gas war. Paid $1.39 in Feb this year in Phoenix. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm old. Still looking at grass from the top side.

When I graduated high school in 1998 gas was under a dollar in California. The Asian financial crisis tanked gas prices and it was awesome for us.

They were still being used in some rural areas when I was a kid. (the photo is from Shoup, ID which is a major rafting put in for the Salmon River). I'm old.   |

I remember when I was about 8 or so. Dad would give a quarter and a gallon can on a Saturday morning. I'd ride my bike to the neighborhood gas station. Get a gallon of gas and then get a candy bar with the change.
Then I had to go home and help mow the yard!

I remember .77 just before the Gulf war. When I was a kid (1960's) gas was below .50, I remember people saying that someday gas would cost $1 a gallon!!!
