I see plenty of discussions about high gas prices, but haven't come across one about cheap gas. I sure feel the pain in my wallet at the gas pump when I fill up. Especially as I remember 10 years ago or so only paying 79 cents a gallon and it costing less than $20 to fill up my pickup.
What is the cheapest you remember?

I don't remember the exact amount per gallon, nor do I have the foggiest idea how many gallons my '78 Le Mans' gas tank held, but $20 a week is what I was paying in gas in '90. It got me into the next town to work and back 5 days a week, plus errands and cruising.
Man, except for the piece of crap boyfriend I had then, life was pretty sweet, lol.

I used to roll my eyes when my dad when talk about the "good ole days" and now here I am doing it?!
Hopefully you dumped that boyfriend? I would guess you did!

The least I remember paying was .85 cents a gallon. That was high at the time. I can't believe how much the prices have gone up in so short a time. You would think that as consumers we would use less, but it seems we use more. I know that our weekend getaways will not be happening as much as they did in past years.

Well last summer they did this Dollar day thing here. You could get gas for a Dollar a gallon!! Oh man we filled everything we could find!!! I doubt that will ever happen again. My dad said that when he was younger he could get gas for 50 cents a gallon. But that was back in the 50's. Now we pay almost 3.00$ a gallon.

When I got my license (*coughs*) sixteen years ago, it was $.89 per gallon. I miss being able to ride for a week on $10.
