How much did gas cost?

Question

How much did gas cost in 1997. I remember it being .97 cent. My sister swears she has never seen it under 1.00 she has been driving since 1993.

Answer 1

It was not under a $1 in 1997.  It was about $1.25 in NYC.

Oh snap it was about $1 outside (like NJ) !!!  OMG !! you are right.

I'm 100% sure on NYC prices in 1997.  I used travel from NYC to Maui and remember the prices here and there

For some reason these data doesn't show that:

Answer 2

it was a  $1.27 back in 97 i still got gas receipts from 97 and that was what we was paying for it in Tennessee,good luck.

Answer 3

Depends on the area of the country. In rural Virginia , it was waaay under  a buck when I began driving in July of1994. So, .97 might be right on ! We can only wish for those days, huh?

Answer 4

CNN reported the national average in 1997 was $1.32 a gallon. You might have been thinking about a time much earlier than that.

I can't ever remember being gas under a dollar either. but I started driving in 2003 when gas was about $1.60/gallon in Southern California

Answer 5

At this time last year it was about 2.09.

It was .97 in 2001.

Answer 6

I was paying .79/gal for a short time in 96 or 97, but usually between .95-1.05.

Was still paying .99 until 2003.

Answer 7

When I was stationed in Great Lakes, Illinois (north of Chicago) in 1999 gas cost 60 cents a gallon in Indiana near my Moms house.
