The cheapest I have ever bought gas for was .10 cents. That was in 1964.
It was during a price war between stations on a busy highway in Louisville. The same station also had a cigarette machine that sold a pack of cigarettes for 23 cents. You put a quarter in the machine and you'd get a pack of cigarettes and they would split the cellophane and insert two pennies underneath.
I guess this dates me a little.

would you believe 29cents? that was at a full service Texaco station in the 1950's --- here's an kind of outdated gasoline price chart -- it only goes as far as 2005 -- http://assets.estesexpress.com/about/history/images/GasPrices.gif strange it seems gas prices were pretty low until 1973 (only 39 cents) then it jumped to 51 cents in a years -- must have been the oil embargo thing ... then in 6 years it climbed to just over $1 but it stayed there for almost 20 years -- slowly climbing to almost $2 ,,, then in 2005 boom $3 and higher ...

60 Cents. What a time. and there where no taxes on gas either. now most states pay about 50 cents just in taxes on the gas they buy.

I remember buying regular for 24.9 cents a gallon and I have heard of gas that was cheaper than that back in the day.

87 cent in 1989 in St. louis, MO at the Amoco station at Madison ave & West Florissant ST. The station has opened & closed with many new owners & is now a BP.

I paid 29 cents in 1972. Then I made $1.25,
now $29.93, so gas is still a relative bargain.
