Cheap gas

[cadzag72]

Best I ever paid was $.98/gallon back in 1999. Maybe that's why Prince wanted to party then

Current price all over RI right now is 3.39, knock it up 10-15 cents if you want to go down by the coast.

Gas was $0.799/gallon when I started driving, diesel was about the same or a bit cheaper.

This past Friday I spent $73.00 filling 4 5 gallon cans with ethanol free gas.

I remember 18 cents and 21 for hi test in my Roadrunner. I also remember cigs for $0.19 with a penny in the bottom of the pack. Mike

It was about $.99 a gal when I started driving. The cheapest I "paid" was $.85 a gal. This of course was my dad giving me the cash to go pay while he put the cans back in the truck and made sure the caps were on the tractor tanks. This was back when you could let your kids leave your sight and not be worried about their safety. And back when they used to let you pump first then pay....remember those days?

It was $.16/gal when I started driving. Caused a recession when it went from $.25 to $.50 in 1973/4. On the other hand, I was making 1/10 of what I make now, so $3.00 today is cheap by comparison.

1974 I was 18 and just got a job at Mcdonnell Douglas Aircraft $5.02 an hour. I was making the big bucks then. 1977 I thought I might have to get a second job when gas went up to $1.00 a gallon.

Cheapest I remember was in my high school years (somewhere '67-69). I recall $.19 9/10

Sad that most remember prices that are below what the gov tax is now.

Guess we can truly say, "Do you remember when...." and "Remember the good ole' days...". Granted many other things have went up in price as well, it seems like we like to complain about the gasoline because we are burning our money up, literally, but isn't it fun and worth it when we are on a cub!! Now, the only chance for cheap gas is a can of beans and I am not so sure that is cheap anymore. Here's to the good ole' days:
