What do you remember paying for GAS

[quadfather]

i think the cheapest i remember was in .80 cent range back when i started driving. it was less when i rode my mini bike around, but back then dad was buying the gas . in high school i could still get leaded gas. and good ole sunoco 260. now it cost me $80.00 to fill the avalanche with cheap weasel pi$$ 87 octane. i don't understand why fuel prices seem to go down every winter when the demand on heating oil rises. and go up in the summer when the demand goes down. it's pretty obvious that they are just jacking up the prices for driving season. and i still can't figure out why diesel fuel costs more that gas most of the time? i no expert on the the refining methods used. but i would think it takes less effort to turn crued oil into deisel than gas?
