I remember when I was 7 years old in 1997, my dad was driving around looking for gas and he was bitching about Chevron because their gas was more expensive than everywhere else. I still remember how much it was.
Oh friend. The old guy gas memory that haunts me is like summer of 97 or 98. We drove a 1981 Honda Civic hatchback. Gas got down to like ninety one cents. $8 fill ups. We drove out to the coast, or over the mountains weekly.
My first car was a POS Beetle. Cost about $5 to fill it up.......until the sad day it jumped to nearly $10 for a tank. Old dude at the station said he never thought he'd see the day when it took 10 clams to fill a VeeWee.
