Gas was this low in price????????? I was cleaning the old stockroom out at the shop when I found this. This was the price the last time we sold gas at the garage. That would have been 11/98! Wish it still was this price! lol

I distinctly remember my dad pulling over to some random gas station in nh on rt 125 and filling up because it was $1.19 a gal and everywhere else was sooooo expensive at like $1.25 a gal. Hah i look back and laugh at that. Honestly wtf has changed since then? Someone is pocketing big bucks once they realized they could charge w.e. the fuck they want for gas and people will still pay for it

941LE 01-27-2011 08:15 AM

I got my liscense in 1983 and my first car was 1973 Pontiac Catalina that my parents bought new in 73. I kind of remember those gas lines mainly from the 79 shortage.

frankzlt1 01-28-2011 01:46 AM

My dad was the chief mechanic at the garage and we use to go and get gas when the garage was closed.

c4boom 01-28-2011 03:13 AM

shit it was .89 cents a gallon when I started my folks would throw me a 50 spot every 2 weeks and i would dump 50 gallons in the truck and still have gas left over

*LS1* Queen 01-28-2011 05:01 AM

I've got a link on my computer at home, I'll hafta post it up later. 2008 looks hilarious.

*LS1* Queen 01-29-2011 12:03 AM

i found one site but it only goes back to 2006

Formula413 01-29-2011 12:21 AM

I thought I had a link with older data but I can't find it. This chart is pretty cool though, you can change the time period the graph covers.

i remember paying 76 cents in florida shit when i was 13..my buddy who was 15 would jack his moms car and we would go joy riding every weekend and hit the street races up and club scene..

i remember it when it started getting jacked up..sad part is now the prices are high as hell still and yet from when the shit was 1$ or less till now the avg middle class american still makes the same or even less now a days..

I thought the most fucked up shit i ever seen was a clip of the shell vp on fox news when shit was like $4.50 a gal and the host asking why is gas like 130$ a barrel and the dudes answer was i have no clue there is no reason for it to be even over 60$ a barrel..
