I can remember filling up for .99 cents when I started driving.

[nascarnate326]

I wasnt even born when that picture was taken

$2.01 is the lowest I can remember paying.

[Darren]

I was born in 1986... so NO I dont remember when,

[meissen]

Haha yeah born in 86 here too, but I do remember gas being right around $1 when I started.

[FASHOOTER]

Aaahhh 86 $20 would fill your tank and get you a pack of smokes and a coke in a glass bottle!

[camarochick16]

I was born in 1986 but no... I think it was around 2 bucks when I started driving

[wasjo6431]

When i started driving guess was around 1.05-1.25 when i bought my truck in december of 03 everyone said "omg what are you going to do gas is going to be like 1.50 in the next year or two" What i would do to go back to giving the attendant 40 bucks filling up and going back in for change.

[97firehawk]

Few back then 5-10 bucks would go a long way .today its more like 50-100 bucks .

[tenpin842]

yeah I remember people making a stink when it was going over a $1.00 per gallon. Look at us now.

[SoulTerror]

I was born in 83. I miss paying $1 a gallon of gas.

When I started driving was when gas first started going up. It had been .29 for a long time (except during the gas price wars of 1970 when it got down to .19) In 1974 when I graduated it hit .39 and has been climbing since. In 1975 was the first shortages(?) that drove the price up even more. Oh, yeah, back then you could still get Sunoco 260 leaded gas (probably equivalent to 110 octane now) at every Sunoco station.

I remember in my first grade class (1996 or 97) I wrote a paper on things i didn't like, and one of them was gas prices. I think they were around .97 a gallon... HA!... hindsight...

I can remember coming back from the midnight movies with the guys when I was 18...we're all broke, but still managed to scrape together $2 in change to have enough gas to get home...

Man have times changed. Although if you're driving a cruz or something that gets 40 miles per gallon, half a gallon of gas would probably get you home still
