... Yielded two gasoline receipts. Stuffed under the seat.

January 4th, 1980 $1.01 per gallon
January 25th, 1980 $1.13 per gallon

That's a helluva hike. Tenafly NJ and Engle Cliffs (?) NJ.


Just thought I would share.

Right after it.


Gas crisis occured in '78.


Gas prices did fall off in the mid-90's B. I remember when 87octane gas was 89cents during nineteen ninety-something. Probably 1994-97ish.

I remember that from when I was little. I recall telling my dad that one gas station was crazy for thinking they could sell gas for 0.89. Funny, I would say the same thing today.

Sidenote: A reciept from 1980? How often do you clean your car? I feel I'm slacking when I find anything over 2 months old. That piece of paper you hold is older than ME!
 
shit i wish gas was $1.13!! here in Fort Wayne, Indiana the 87 octane is $3.19. yeah i typed that right!!! i about shit my pants when i saw that. oh well. nothing i can do about it except pay it.
 
cheapest gas i could find around here is 2.87 at a walmart...
 
$2.99 for the shit gas here.

(enter old-timer voice here) "Way back when I was a kid Gasoline was 88 cents a gallon!"

Well, that was the best price I've ever seen anyway, and that was mid 90's.
