Gas Prices- $2.04 gallon!

$1.81 last night here in Dothan. My goodness, gas is almost getting reasonable(?)! Remember when we screamed and yelled during the Iranian crisis, and gas went to an unbelievable 58 cents per gallon???? Ahhh, those were the days. I can remember growing up northwest of Detroit, and during the "gas wars" you could get regular for 18 cents a gallon, but High Test was really expensive. . .yep, 27 cents a gallon!

Nana's right old,old,old .
glacierbear is that a reference to your age. ;):D:D
 
I don't recall the $.18, but my first car... age 17 and the thrill when a gas war happened a block from my dorm and prices dropped at two stations down to $.23 for a few days, down from somewhere in the 32-35 cent range!!!! Filled that baby up for sure. I do think Juju and I might be younger than some of you --- in our minds, anyway :D.
 
Re: Gas Prices- $1.99 gallon!

Gas station in Leesburg, Florida today.........tomorrow it will probably be less!! The cheapest gas I can recall (when I lived in South Florida and there was a "gas war") it was $.19 a gallon in the late 1950's. :)

Did you say today? Where's the SNOW
 
Got gas here in Dobson, NC for $1.989 a gallon. I can remember pumping gas at a full service gas station in NNY for 23 cents a gallon. Now we pay the big bucks and have to pump our own! Oh the times have sure changed. Gone but not forgotten, sigh. hermit
 
I remember the GAS WARS then gas got down into the teens Thinking 1957 1960. and they pumped it , they gave you green stamps or a coffee cup etc. They checked your tires , your oil and cleaned the windshield. and you got change back from a $5.00 on a fill up. We didn't care that the car only got 8 to 10 miles to a gallon. Heck back then a 200 mile trip was an adventure.\ overnight vacation. :D
 
I also remember gas wars. Not down to 0.18 ct but here in Cal. I remember 20-25 cents.Could fill up my VW for a few dollars.
