What is the cheapest price for gas that you can personally remember in your lifetime?

Question

I can remember 28 cents a gallon, from a price war that two stations across the street from each other were having when I was a kid. Not sure why it stuck in my head all these years, but it did.

Answer 1

12.9 back in the 1950's. There used to be "gas wars," gas stations would drop their prices to some really ridiculous prices.

Answer 2

I can remember gas being 59 cents a gallon for a while here, and I was 16 at the time and thought that was way to high

Answer 3

Ha! I remember a price war whan I was a kid also. I think it went to 22 cents for a couple of days.

Answer 4

Yes I remember as you do........ price wars on gas... 25 and 35 cents a gallon. We will never see that again.

Answer 5

The lowest I remember is about $.25/gallon (give or take) back in the late sixties. I can remember scrounging for change with my friends and we could ride around for hours on our spare change. Seems like a lifetime ago. (wait a minute, it was!) When I think about it though, my first job paid about $.75 an hour and I thought I was rich.

(remember the free items you used to get with fill ups? Glasses, seem to come to mind)

Answer 6

Early seventies, 23 cents a gallon. Back then we used to reach in our pockets for a handfull of change to fill up the tank. Sure was nice.
