I remember when gas was $.19 a gal and I had a VW bug and was being paid $.20 a mile on my job. I was making money. WOW!!! 40+ years ago. But this year I will retire and have more time to do my quilting.

OH yeah! The night I got married, March 29, 1969, we stopped for gas on our way out of town. It was 29 cents a gallon. That service station went out of business and stood empty for years with that 29 cent price on its marquee for a long long time. What memories!!! I worked at a grocery store then while I went to college. I remember some of the regular prices because we didn't scan anything then. Lettuce was 9 cents a head, bread was 19 cents a loaf, canned food was often 5 or 6 for a dollar. Amazing!

I love this site, but hate trying to post to it - so many times the site quits responding, my post doesn't post and it is lost unless I can remember what I wrote --- that being said ...

I remember those low cost gas days too. When I was in high school we could put a few dollars worth of gas in the tank and drive around all Friday night - go to football games, cruise "the gut" and still return the car with more gas in it than there was when we left the driveway. Those were definitely "the good ole days"!

Of course, now that I complained, the post went through ... go figure ...

My dad had price wars with a local refinery, but the gas we sold only every got down to 12 cents. The refinery wouldn't go lower than 13 cents! ​

I sure do remember when gas was 20 cents, my cousin and I could go all day in her sisters little car on 50 cents worth of gas what a blast. I was earning $4.00 an hour, now days a watress doesn't make much more than that but you sure pay more for the gas. so sad for our young and elderly in these days.

I remember in '73 when I got my first car, a Yellow Pinto, the gas was $.49 a gallon and I was going to be darned if I would pay a whole $.50 a gallon for gas! Oh, the good old days... Bought the Pinto new also, including tax and transfers for $2k...can't even get a junker for that now!

I can remember paying $1.25/gal my Senior year of high school. We used to clean out the pop bottles in the back seat and cash them in to get the $5 for a half of tank of gas.

I remember 15 cents a gallon at Town Talk.
