That just means you're old

$1.23 for me (though then it went to $1.06 - #1 least expensive year).

.90 for me is what the article says but I remember .79. Maybe because I got my license in February. 

I remember paying $ .49 for Sunoco 260 102 octane

.56 cents for me.

Article is National Average.  If you were here in NJ we were way below national average... 

Hate to admit it but 35 cents.

89.9 for 89 octane leaded

.90

It was 33 cents almost everywhere (in NY), and it remained there for years.  It did not bounce up and down like it does now.

(Yes, I know I'm old.  See my screen name.)

And for the win, 26 cents (1965).

I don't even want to think about it.  Too depressing.

New record for me ...

I paid $3.92/gallon yesterday in west Texas.

Wait until a week from now, then report back!

Now let's see the chart showing the value of a dollar in the same years.

That way you'll know how much you've lost since then in the value of everything you own priced in U.S. dollars.

I saw a chart recently that compared the dollar in 2000 to now. $1 is now worth .59 cents.

Yes, that was my post too. If we look back to 1913 and the creation of the Federal Reserve, the 1913 dollar is now worth just about a nickel. The gas article only went back to 1937.

sheesh..good question....it was 93-94' I wanna say between .87 & .98 

I’m back up in Lansdale PA this week for work. I’m seeing $4.50+ for regular. 

Out by Hazleton PA last week it was $4.69 at all the stations on the Can-Do Expressway.

Great, it's the 1970s all over again:  More Reports of Gas Being Stolen Through Drilling Holes Are Coming in Across the Country as Prices Hit Record Highs (yahoo.com)

back down to 4.09 where i work

they're suggesting locking gas caps.....dumb idea. if they want the gas outta your car, they're gonna siphon it or punch a hole in your tank. better to lose a couple hundred in gas than a nearly 1k fuel tank.......

it was last time gas was this high. people were punching holes in gas tanks. we had one of our CAP vans hit, but thankfully they only siphoned....so we just lost about 40 gallons.

 

 golly.....who was prezident when this happened last time? it escapes me........

Got my license in 71. I can remember 43 cents (might have been lower) for premium, but then again, my long term memory is shot.
