What is the cheapest price you can remember gasoline costing per gallon?

Question

It's been so long since I saw it below $1.25/gallon it seems like it has been decades.

Answer 1

I remember my father driving some 20 or 30 miles to a station where they actually had "gas wars" going on and he got gas for....hang on to your hat... 19 cents a gallon.

I don't know what year it was or anything, but it must have been in the 60's.

Answer 2

About 1970 my dad was taking us on vacation in his tiny Fiat down south and we came upon a gas price war and my dad saw gas for 22 cents a gallon for regular. Unfortunately the Fiat took only premium, had a tiny gas tank and was almost full when he found the cheap gas. I do remember Sinclair's dinosour too.

Answer 3

I remember driving with my Grandfather. We were in a dinosaur on wheels. 8 Liter V8, rear wheel drive towing a 50 foot sail boat. Gasoline was 48 Cents a liter and he refused to pay for gas. We were on empty and hours from the lake. We kept going.

Answer 4

I can remember 39 cents a gallon. I used to put a dollar's worth of gas in my parent's car before I brought it home! Now you know how old I am!

Answer 5

Answer 6

I remember it being .85 per gallon. Don't laugh. It was the '80's

Answer 7

I remember getting gas for the lawn mower back in the 1960s. It was about a two-gallon can, and it took two quarters to fill it up, IIRC.
