what's the CHEAPEST price you've ever paid for gas?
 

so living in california, i'm gettin raped by gas prices, and as larry (chinaonnitrious) pointed out in his thread, gas prices may go up again :(

what's the cheapest price for gas you've ever paid? I remember a 3 years ago when i first got my license, a brand new gas station (USA Gasolene) opened up a mile away from an Arco and those both competed until gas prices went down to 99 cents for 89 octane!! of course i didn't have my maxima back then and didn't care about octane rating.. damn those were the good ol days.

how about yourself? And FREE doesn't count :mad:

yea i remember 99 cents, but that was like 10 years ago, back in Boston, MA

that's the lowest i've ever seen it in my long lifetime :laugh:

i remember back in 97 when i first started driving, regular was less than .99/gal and it took $10 on ave to fill up my little corolla. currently i pay 1.39/gal for 93 octane here in dirty south jersey lol.

Van Nuys, CA 1/5/2002

95 cents for 93 octane in Atlanta in the summer of 1996.

62 cents for 87 octane summer of 97. It was the gas station up the road from my HS(grand opening for a week deal).

i guess this was in '97 also, but when i was 16 i remember price club had regular gas for 79 cents i think. maybe 78.

I work with a guy who won't shut up about "paying $0.25 / gallon"... but he's ancient (54 y.o.) :laugh:

I worked at a gas station during high school. We had a gas war the summer of 1970 and were selling it at $.22 a gallon. Yeah, I've got one foot in the grave.

I just got a tank of Premium from an "off brand" station for $1.39/Gal :D

When the first sheetz opened in my town about 3 years ago they had 89 for .65/gallon.

i piad like 98 centavos like 6 or 7 yrs ago

I can't remember if it was 2000 or 2001--but I remember filling up in Jersey going to the shore in the summer at $0.899 for regular unleaded (let's not start, don't go there). It was so cheap I always told them to let it spill out and over the side of the car, I can afford it! :laugh:

3 gallons for a $1.00 in 1971

I remember my mother filling up her '68 Camaro when I was little (living in Lincoln, NE) with a $5 and getting change back (premium fuel).

I remember those good old days. Now the prices are draining my wallet and sending me to the poor house. :bawling:

79 cents...WaWa gas, before Desert Storm.

If modern times aren't counted, 18 cents/gal for Ethel during the gas wars in the mid '60's. I cound fill the 22 gal tank of my '59 Buick Invicta for less then $4. :laugh:

it was as low a .90 here in FL some years back, but the lowest ive ever paid for gas...hmm, premium, cant remember paying less than 1.20?! Paying 1.58 now, better than 1.87 during the war, thats for sure...
