What were gas prices when you first started driving?

When I got my first driver's license in 1994, gas was $1.15. If we adjust that for inflation, it would be $2.26 in 2022 dollars.

I honestly don't remember. I do remember when gas first hit $1 here because I was working at my aunts store pumping gas (14-15ish ?) and the pumps only went to 99.9 cents. That would have been early 80's. I got my first real job in 85 so I had been driving about 3 years by then. I can remember paying around $1.20 in 85 or early 86 so it must have been somewhere between $1 and $1.25 when I first got my license.
