O/T CHEAPEST GAS PRICE
What's the cheapest price you remember folks paying for gas?
Let's tell on ourselves (age-wise)!
I'll start off:
Forty-five cents a gallon, at Deitrich Oil company.
Been a while!
How 'bout y'all?

Grizz . . .yes, I remember those days too. Mid 70's . . .then Jimmy Carter came to town in 1977. . . .went from pennies a gallon to dollars and hasn't stopped. Every few years we have a leap.
I'd rather wear out than rust out.

How about gas wars
I remember the gas wars - 24.9 cents a gallon
This is the best part of our lives.
When I was 17 years old I pumped gas,yes I pumped gas for the Holliday Gas Station in Prarie Du Chien Wi. in 1969 and we sold gas for 23 cents a gallon and I worked there and with my discount I bought it for 19 cents,and on tuesdays and thursdays you got double stamps,and you could buy a Ford Mustang for $1700.00 bran new. I got $2.45 and hour ,life was great. And I think I had more then than I due now. Where did it all go? Jerry

gas
In 1965 when I was 16, my buddies and I would pitch in a quarter each and get $1 worth of gas. We could ride around all Friday night and have gas left. A new Spur Oil station opened and had gas for 25 cents for the first 2 weeks. In 1971 when I started my first real job, Regular was 31.9 and Premium (Ethyl) was 33.9. In 1975 a man from Atlanta was in Alabama where I worked and said gas was 50 cents a gallon. We said gas would NEVER be that much in Alabama. And to think, now we are glad to find it for less than $3.50.

"This Old Fart" bought Regular at Hudson Oil Station in Wichita, Kansas for .13 cents a gal(Gas War) in 1963. Was .28 when no Gas War. Was a Airman Second Class making $90.00 a Month. As far as being an 'Old Fart' I still fish 2 Bass Tournaments a week and got a doe Friday. I will be 65 on the 20th of this month.DuckHunt wrote:Wow, there are some old fart in here.
I'm sure it was cheaper when I was younger but I the cheapest I've paid for myself is about $.75/gallon.
