Back in 1988

 

I remember when unleaded was 87 cents a gallon as recently as 1997. The only reason I remember that is it was my first year of college and the town the school was in had ALOT cheaper gas than my hometown.

 

my first year to start driving was 1999, still have my first gas receipt, gas was .99/gal

 

In the summer of 1997 I was working at a 7-11 gas station and on July 11th (7/11) they sold regular unleaded for 71.1 cents as a promotion for 3 hours. We had lines all day so I don't remember what the regular price was.

 

1972: 32 cents in Philadelphia, Pa.My father said there was a "gas war" and I was looking for guns sticking out of gas station windows, but most were closed on Sundays.

 

i started driving in 2000 and i remember regular unleaded being right around 1.15. I had a white sunbird convertible and i could fill it up for like 10-15 bucks. I remember being a little astounded the first time it took over 15. i think the last time i filled the jimmy up before i got rid of it it took around $55....

times have changed in the short time i've been driving...

 

I remember my dad complaining about gas prices at 25 cents per imperial gallon. That's going back!

I remember filling my 66 Pontiac Catalina 389 CI 2bbl(25 gallon tank) for $11 bucks with high test back in the day and the pumps only had 3 places in the dollar field.

I was just looking through an old log book I had and the car would get 17-19 mpg and gas was selling for $0.40-0.45/gallon circa 1972.

 

I can remember during gas crunch #1 back in 1973 having to fill up my car and wondering in a bit of a panic just how high gas going to go.It had gone way up to 38.9/gallon!

 

How many remember having a choice between leaded and unleaded? Yea, I'm dating myself.
