      I just had to post

      It's at 1.34€/liter now which is about 5.99$ a gallon if my calculations are correct.

      I remember though that it was about 2.60$ /gallon 15 years ago when I started driving my "moped"

      75% is taxes though...

      It was 1,50 dutch guilder a litre when I was 18 (18years ago) which translates to about 0.68euro (our new currency) which is approx $0.82

      today I paid 1.44euro a litre which comes to $1.73 a litre
      so in 18 years the price more then doubled for me......

      Oh, in case you misread...the prices are for 1 litre...not gallon.....

      It was $.95-1.00 when i was in high school and i guess that $1-1gal formula has always stuck with me because when i go to the gas station and see 6gallons for $15 I still go in to a mild shock. lol

      I've never paid less than $1.69 for gas, but I've only been driving 4 years. My Dad remembers paying $.39, though.

      I've seen 93 as high as $3.29 a gallon the past few days; $3.09 seems to be a bargain; 87 is between $2.93-$2.99. These prices are absurd.

      Well you all have to remember that its spring time in most of the northern hemisphere and suprisingly the terrorist countries are having a hard time producing oil so they MUST raise the price because its so rare and hard to find right now...

      But don't worry they promise to find more by October to give us infidels a break just before the winter which coincidentaly makes it harder to produce oil again to heat your homes...

      You know if I weren't a moron I would swear they do it on purpose...

      Time to buy more Exxon stock, or stock in hell as I like to call it.

      Oh, BTW I think $1.09 was the cheapest I remember back in 90-91 when I got my license

      Filled up my Expedition yesterday and it was $76+ for a little over 26 gallons!

      At any rate I remember 28.9 cents/gallon in 1971 I believe.
      (they have to get that extra 9/10ths)
      I had a mini bike with a 1/2 gallon tank and I could fill er up for .14 cents when it was bone dry.

      i started driving in 93 i think in mass it was just below 90 cents. Wish it was back. Now filling with the race fuel down the street is like 6 a gallon. I want leaded fuel back.

      John: I know what you mean. The pickin's are really gettin' slim. The whole strip is shrinking. Ah, you know, I remember about five years ago, take you a couple of hours and a tank full of gas just to make one circuit. It was really somethin'.

      I saw 5 for a dollar several times when I was a kid and 4 for a dollar was everyday. When I started driving in 76 it was around .49 to .56 cents and then it went to a buck several years later. Then in the late 80's it went to 1.50 for awhile and then when we thought it was going to go to 2 bucks it went back down to 1 dollar and we all thought Clinton was great.

      If wages went up like gas we would all be rich by now. The current president is not going to make it any better anytime soon and doesn't really care from what I see.

      Now I am really glad I bought the Vibe instead of the High Sierra truck. 10mpg more is making a difference at the pump in my pocket.

      It was about $0.999 to $1.039 when I started driving in 95. Now the bargain price is $2.899. Dear god, inflation hasn't been that bad, has it?

      That's why the oil companies posted a record $37,000,000,000 profit for one quarter last year. It's price gouging no matter how you look at it. All the liberals lied! They said this war was about oil! We should be paying $.75 a gallon again [rant off]
      Anyway. I remember paying $.759 a gallon for leaded gas. All my friends had to buy unleaded for $959 a gallon.

      I remember around .75, my family has owned gas stations since 1939 and right now I would advise it to anyone , we only make about .15 per gallon and thats before credit card fees (about .03-.04per gallon) its really bull , we give the goverment .42 per gallon for taxes which is a hell of alot more than we make . So anyway they tell us alot of the increase is for the ethanol thats in the gas now
      NOW WHAT??? lol

      Great topic! I was thinking about this yesterday when I was driving.

      I remember in 1999 when I was in my second year at college. There was about a 4 months period when gas dropped from the mid $1.40's down to under a dollar.

      Costco gas in Santa Rosa, CA in 1999 was going for $.95 per gallon for a few weeks in a row before moving up to $.99.

      Man, the good old days. I wouldn't be surprised to see upper 3's or even low 4's by the end of summer.

      We have more than enough oil underground in THIS country between TX, OH, PA, CO, CA and AK and just offshore to all but break the need to import it from anywhere. If we could just get the hippies and NIMBYs (not in my back yard) to pull their heads out we could get a little relief. I paid $50 yesterday in Orange County to fill the tank in my Buick LaCrosse company car. 16 gallons, absurd.
