What's the cheapest gas you ever bought

[SouthernGA]

In high school I paid 36 cents a gallon for my 1966 Mustang. I remember a gas war in 1967 where my father was driving 10 miles to get it for 17.9 out in the country in SE Nebraska for the Rambler. Both stations went out of business. Must have been a real hate going on. One of the stations was a Sinclair, the other a Standard Oil. Remember the free maps?

I also remember these same gas wars and $.18 gas.

17 for regular/high test was 19 cents around 1967, or 68.

.329 in 1968. When it hit .589 under Jimmy Carter in 1976, I swore I wasn't buying anymore until it went back under .50 a gallon.

I remember it dropping to about .79 in the late nineties. I also know that a quarter would buy a gallon in the 1960s and that same quarter (90% silver) is worth about $3.50 today, same as a gallon of gas.

If I remember correctly first gas I ever bought for my 67 Mustang was 32 cents a gallon. Should give y'all an idea how old I am.

About .65 a gal. There was no on road/off road diesel then and it was only .55.

29.9 cents a gallon in my 62 Chevy Biscayne.

I remember my grandmother sending me to the store to buy her cigs. 3 packs for a $1

I quit smoking when cigs went up to .50 a pack....outrageous.

Early '70s, across from Dobbins AFB, .279 a gallon, it was an small oil company. Passed by there a month or so ago and the station its now gone.
