there ya go bud

Answer 2

I remember back when I first came to America gas was 64 cents and we were complaining like h**l and my dad was saying stuff like "If their making gas that expensive, why dont we use water instead?" LOL Look how much it is now!!!

Answer 3

I remember back in 1999 a gas station in Texarkana (Arkansas side) was selling gas for 75 cents a gallon.  I pulled over right away and filled up. Crossed the border in TX and was 1.40 or so a gallon.  What happen there?  Beats me !  But I took advantage of it.

Anyway, I remember my dad was so upset with gas prices that went to over a dollar back in the late 70s.  At work we calculated if is actually the same.  We figured the fuel back during the oil embargo was way more expensier giving how much you made at work compared with the average income of today.  I think the impact was like if the fuel today hit the $6 mark.  Still, places like Germany sells gas for around $7~8 a gallon.  But Europe and Japan are lightyears ahead of us on mass transit.

Answer 4

I find living in the past a waste of time. It doesn't change anything. Just about everything was cheaper at one time or another.Complaining about it does nothing except get your dander up. Face the fact that gas and just about everything else except of course pay scales will always go up.

Answer 5

Now this might make me seem old, but I remember going outta the way to buy it for 99 cents/gal and everyone was so upset it went over $1.00.  This was in the early 90s?

Answer 6

Yeah and what's funny is thinking that $2 a gallon was ridiculous. Now it's nearly $4!

Answer 7

I remember when gas was 50 cents a gallon, and cigarettes were also 50 cents a pack, back in 1972 I think.

Answer 8

I think the summer of 2003 I paid $1.80 per gallon driving from NY to Florida for vacation. I think a year ago it was about a dollar cheaper than now.
