What do you remember paying for GAS

[Bill Howell]

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.
