@Heartlander The lowest I remember was during a gas war with 2 stations at one intersection near the high school, 19 cents a gallon late 60’s. Regular price was about 24 cents a gallon.

@Nimbus

Through the earlier 1970s. The lowest price that I can remember was 14 cents a gallon for the lower grade in like 1971 or 72 during a gas war. Gas wars were were about gas stations competing for customers.

Additional considerations to go along with 25 center gallon gasl is that EVERYTHING was 15+times lower. A VW Beetle or a Ford Pinto cost less that $2,000, rent was $100 to $150 a month, houses cost less that $20,000, etc. Everything but wages. Wages were like 15 to 25% what they are today, so only ONE income in the household was enough to support a family of 2 or three, or more. With an income of $12 to $15,000 a year, a $20,000 home, a $2,000 car, cheap gas, 50 cent hamburgers, etc. were easily affordable.

@Heartlander my dad died in 1967. I remember those days. i was very small.

I saw gas for $1.19 at a Murphy gas station when Trump was president.
FreestyleArt · 36-40, M
@cherokeepatti damn that's low.....close to 1970's.


Although I wish we can go back to 1950's when Gas prices are more reasonable
We were paying that for a litre earlier this year
@MasterLee Probably works out at 70%
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@jackjones68 20% is transportation, the oil companies get 2% so yeah about 70% goes to politician projects
@MasterLee same as cigarettes
best money making schemes for the tax office
I remember gas was 4 gallons for a $1.00 ,in Florida 1958
Americans had better not complain compared to how much we spend!
Nimbus · M
@BritishFailedAesthetic 😛
Excellent point!
akindheart · 61-69, F
i can remember when I was a little girl and gas was either .23 or .25 and my dad complained...he would have a fit if he was still alive
Nimbus · M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Seems that length of time to some :)

Thats very close to what we pay now......Of course, thats per litre..😷
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
@whowasthatmaskedman prices went up by over a dollar and more, it wasnt joes fault. Now gas is 60 cents cheaper so asswipe tales credit
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Patriot96Post Covid, prices (and often profits) are climbing in a new low competition trade cycle. Thats not political. Just an economic fact globally. We can debate the reasoning, but the numbers dont lie..😷
thisguy20 · 41-45, M
I remember it being 0.90 per gallon...probably only remember it because it was a round number
iamnikki · 31-35, F
