35 cents / gallon in 1968
1965 Rambler classic with 232 cu/in inline 6

 

33 cents/gallon in 1967.

Consider that the medium household income was $7,143/year.

 

i think its was around 2.50 or so when i started driving in the summer of 2006 so ive been ****ed since the very beginning : [

 

< $1 (MT) if I remember right. To tell you the truth I had to look it up, it was basically cheap enough that I didn't concern myself with the price.

 

99cents at costco im 20

 

it was just over a buck a gallon around 1981. prob like 1.20-1.30

 

I dont know where you are getting gas from, but in 96 I was paying $.79 a gallon.

 

I could fill up with two Sauropod toe nails, now thought to be worth about .36 cents a gallon.

 

80-90 cents per gallon, premium. 1990-1991

 

just under $12 a gallon. (grew up and started driving in England)

i still love gas prices here, when i go home it kills me!

 

Think it was 1997, and I had my 89 Pontiac 6000LE and it was $.95 for 87 back then. Now 11 yrs later, Im paying almost 4X that. Aint that some BS

 

dang.... oh yeah i remember kevin arnold in wonder year's father buying one of their cars for a couple hundred bucks... wow how times changed

 

Gas?...It was .03 a flake for the horse!

 

.75 for regular (1986) ... then it jumped to over a $1 in 1988. It was killing me to fill up for $20 a week.

1962 Galaxie 500 with a 352 V8, that I subsequently blew and replaced with a 390 bored .40 over.

Now I am simply being tortured.

less than 80 cents/gallon for leaded at 76(union) in 1986, but who cared?
10 bucks was almost enough to fill up my first car, 1970 Chevy Malibu 350 v-8...
$60 plus now to fill up my z
I'm just glad I don't commute to work in my car.

 

i remember when i was still a sophomore in high school (2003). id go to the gas station with 20 bucks, get a full tank, and have some change. now? i use a card

 

California most likely. I was in North Carolina a couple of years ago and they were complaining about $1.35 gas... we were at $2.50 or something.

Cali is always at least .50 over the national average.

i'm 28 now, it was around .87 for regular, and .99 for the good stuff

sigh...those days arent ever coming back, i doubt it will ever been under $3.00 again, maybe even never under $4.00

 

As I recall, the price when I started driving during 1959 was about $.20 per gallon. When there were gas wars, the price dropped to about $.15 per gallon. I had an Austin Healey Sprite with an 8.5 gallon tank and it never took more than $2.00 to fill the tank. Of course, I was working for $.50 an hour at that time so everything is relative. The real jump in gas prices started in 1973 after the Arab oil embargo. I suspect we are going to be paying $5.00 a gallon on average in the very near future.
