Archeological dig in my new car

[Celerity]

... 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.

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!
