Just thought I'd date some people in here. What was the cheapest gas you remember growing up? Think this would fall under Classic Talk I mean look at that classic cost of gas!!!!!

17.9 in New Jersey

[rocky289]

Just bear in mind that I am in New Zealand but the first time I bought fuel was about 1969.
3 gallons of std was $1.10

[Amstung]

I used to pay 23 cents a gallon to fill my Taco 44 mini-bike (about 1971.)

[andrewmp6]

99 cent in the late 90s.

[Tominator]

I remember gas wars at .12 a gallon.

[Rockin' Blue's]

Gas war in 1973 .16 a gallon

[fastbck65]

I remember turning 16 in 1987 and paying $0.88/gal to fill up my crappy Ford Pinto.

[67ragtopStang]

I remember 50 cents per gallon from 1977. I have a 1947 gas slip from my fathers company - 8 gallons for $1

fastbck65, I don't think I'd admit to ever owning a Pinto.

[1965stang]

Cheapest I paid in high school was .75 cents/gallon. In my dad's time, he was paying about a nickel a gallon.

[Taxpayer]

26 cents in '57. N.Y. state.

[snaranjo]

21.9 cents in 72 when I first filled the tank of my 66 coupe - which I still have and is now fully restored

[rpmcarter]

yep...$.16 in '73 and when it jumped to $.35!!! man we thought we were being gouged. note how long it took from .35 to .50 from mid 70's to 1990??? economics/inflation don't add up ....do they?

[joe69]

I remember paying About $0.75 in the late 80's, I nevere paid attention before I started driving in 1985 when it was about $1.20.

I can't remember exactly, I think it was about $1.35-1.55 in 1992 when I started driving, depending on what station and what grade. I had a Dodge Omni so I didn't have to stop for gas that often!

[Chaz78stangII]

.19 in the early 60s..my dad had a 63 Impala vert (I wish I could get that one back)
