The lowest I remember was when I first started paying for gas (not that long ago), and it was 1.35, 1:40

I could fill up a whole tank with just 8 bucks and my tank being near empty.

now it takes me like 13 bucks to fill up my tank

"Back in the day............." I can remember when the stations would have gas wars and the gas was 17 to 19 cents a gallon. When I was a soph in high school the gas station I worked at sold gas for $.24 a gallon. On the bright side, in 37 years it hasn't quite gone up 10 times that. I know, not much consolation.

I remember about eight years ago, in either Tampa or Atlanta, where the price for gas was about $0.78. Now that was a good gas price!
