Paid $3.40 today in Kentucky.
I never thought it would cost me $40+ to fill up my 94’ Escort.
I remember paying $1.00 a gallon back in 97/98
I remember filling up on December 31, 1999 at the shockingly high price of $1.37/gallon.
I also remember 99 cents/gallon in December of 2001.
Memories.....
I remember here in VA during those years gas got down to .79cents per gallon for the cheap stuff. I ran high octane at that time because it was very affordable. I remember being irritated just 4 years ago when the price went up to $1.30, and now look where we are!
When I worked at "Oscar's Flying A" gas station back in 1965/66 before I joined the Marine Corps, it was around a quarter ... it was no joke then when somebody'd drive in and say, "A dollar's worth of your finest, please!"
(Best part of that job was that almost nightly, lonely Mrs. Madsen would take a drive, and start it off at the gas station....we kids loved to wash the windshield, over and over and over and over again - she was a flasher)
I don’t remember what year it was but I can remember my parents being quite upset that gas was $1.00 a gallon. I think the exact quote was “It can’t get any higher”.
Never say never I guess.
