Gas prices.....

[palmettomoon]

I don’t remember when I started paying attention to gas prices, but hardly remember anything under $2/gal. Was out in Cali last month and gas was $4.15/gal. $4.49 to refill the rental at the airport. Jesus H Christ.

Summer blend price spike.

I remember the gas crunch of the late 70’s and the old analog pumps only had two digits so they had to get creative with the math when the price broke $1.00/gal...they’d put up a sign that said “pump price is half of actual price.” They rolled back the pump to $0.50/gal...So if the pump read $5.00, you owed $10.00

I traded my four-banger Toyota in for my first V-6 in 1995. I was pissed the first time I filled up the tank and gas went from .71¢ to .74¢ in one day.

But I remember the QT on Buford drive at 316 dropped to .63¢ a gallon in the late 90’s for a brief period.

I remember Katrina hitting in 2005 and gas passed $3.50 a gallon while my big V-8 was sucking it up at 12mpg.

Signs would read something like 113.8 cause the pump read 56.9.
I also remember when the govt (fed, I think) said no way to that, and stations had to replace all pumps.
Don't know if you had it down here, but up north (NJ, PA) had odd/even rationing - based on your tag number you could buy gas only on certain days. My father got new tags consecutive, so they could always fill up one car.

I turned 16 in 1999 so I've never seen gas under a dollar. I remember everyone at that time *****ing that gas was over a dollar and no way the economy could sustain it. The comes 9/11 and gass hasn't been under 2 dollars since then.

In December 1998 I bought gas for well under $1 per gallon somewhere around Brunswick. I have no idea why it dropped so low right then. Didn’t last.

It was .29.9 for regular when I started driving in 1966. I saw it get down to .16.9 during some gas wars. Amoco white, which I ran in my Yamaha 180 motorcycle was .33 which Supreme was .32

In England in 1973 on base it was .74 and off base it was 3.47 per Imperial gallon

I remember the gas price wars between QT and a racetrack “not that long ago” in the mid 90’s. Sometimes gas was .79-.89 cents a gallon.

As we complain and moan about the price of a gallon of gas...

I laugh when I see people paying $1-$3 for 20 ounces of bottled water. That’s $6-$20 a gallon of WATER. They pay this without even thinking because they think it’s “healthy” and then they complain when gas prices go up. Cracks me up every time.
