[Pro-touring towncar]

This ifs for us older guys who remember cheap gas.

What do you remember paying for gas.

For me I payed about 65 cents
I do remember getting gas for the mower at 50 cents and that was at the expensive station at the corner. I also remembermy Mom complaining about 75 cents



How about you?

gas was 85 cents a gallon when i started driving. I remeber the shock when it broke 1.00.

[colt zantop]

it was around .89-1.00 when I started driving....crazy to think about it now...LOL

[JJSmitches]

GEEZERS!
Am I allowed to say that?

I have never seen gas south of a buck.

[Steven]

25 cents a gallon for my mini-bike. Went to a buck while I was in high school.

I remember getting the gallon gas can for the mower filled and then buying a HUGE Reeses peanut butter cup for a nickel and all I had to start with was a quarter.

I worked at a service ( not gas, this was before self service guys) station when I was 14, back in 1972, gas was around 30 cents. I remember well the gas shortage of 1974. Gas went to 50cents and we thought the end was here. Who could ever pay THAT much for gas.
BTW, for 30 cents a gallon, you got your window washed, air in tires checked, oil checked and anything else in reason. Plus, if you bought 10 gallons or more, most of the time in the summer, Exxon would be giving away some glass, or coffee cup or something. And don't forget the S&H green stamps too.
Damn, now you know I am old.lol

I can vaguely remember when gas rolled over $1.00 a gallon. My dad, however, says he can remember pumping gas at his dad's filling station in south Texas when he was a kid for $0.29 a gallon. Crazy to think about....what I wouldn't do for that now.

Yeah, but bear in mind, the minimum wage was $1.90 or less an hour too. So that still did not buy much. At 14, I did really good to bring home $60 a week. It took me two years to make enough to buy my first car at 15, a 67 Tempest for $1500. Prices are always relevent to the time. My parents built a 2000 square foot house in 1971 for $13,000.

i started driving just south of a buck..like 95 cents cried when it got to a dollar..lol

[David Pozzi]

35 cents a gallon when I was in High School.

[zbugger]

My dad remembers $.29 cents a gallon. I still remember when it was $.89 cents a gallon. When I started driving though, I paid $1.09 and then it quickly went up to $1.19. Now, if I see $2.09, I get really excited. This just sucks.....

[Larry Callahan]

25 cents a gallon for my mini-bike. Went to a buck while I was in high school.

Me too! I had a minibike and an old dirt bike when I was a kid. I remember when I could fill the tank for a quarter.

Oh I feel old! LOL!

[hiwayman]

[JV69z/28]

Was .29 when I started driving and the "good stuff" Sunoce 260 was .34. Darn I'm old!

[ZZ430]

Yeah, I hate to admit it too, but it was 25 cents a gallon for quite a while.

I recall during the gas wars it was as low as 17 cents.

[rickk]

[TonyL]

a 1969 RS/SS camaro, for 700 bucks.

/ouch.

[Blitz]

75 cents. Filling the can for the lawn mower.

[Damn True]

I recall pumping 100 from an independant station in Los Gatos thinking and saying to my buddy, "Nah, it'll never go over a buck."

I paid $50.65 for 16 gallons today in Orange County.....thank gawd it's a company car and company gas card.
