Cheapest Gas Prices You Can Remember?

[my73charger]

Thought this might be interesting.  What are the cheapest gas prices you can ever remember?  I remember when gas was 52 cents a gallon.  My dad would freak when it hit 54 cents... Thieving Bas@#%ds!!  Gouging like crazy they are!

[BrianShaughnessy]

Around 50 or 55 cents a gallon or so back in '77 when I got my license.   

[chargerkid]

I paid 79 cents in Georgia on my way to Florida.  This was after the winter of 2002.  I can't beleive these gas prices.  I have a RAM Dually V10 and an Excursion Limited V10.

[Old Moparz]

Under a buck, maybe around $0.75 or so, but I forget the exact amount since I've been driving. As a kid, maybe $0.50 or so? (Didn't really pay attention.)

[RT DAVE]

about $.87.  I'm only 30. 

[sunfire69]

29.9
I remember my Dad pulling his 69 Charger into the gas station and filling up for $5 not dead empty of course..

[tomonty]

90 cents..when I started driving in 94 or so. Started climbing shortly thereafter.

[Wakko]

99 cents and 1.15 for premium.  If my Monte Carlo was REALLY empty, it would take over $20.  When gas hit 1.40 for premium I want "Holy crap!  Now it's 25 bucks to fill my car??"  Now I spend 30 to fill the Charger and suuuuure don't go very far.

 36 cents per gallon and you got either s&h green stamps or the pink stamps you could redeem for dishes or toys... there were attendants too who washed your windhield and checked your oil... i feel sooooo old...

36 cents per gallon and you got either s&h green stamps or the pink stamps you could redeem for dishes or toys...

Hah! I forgot all about those!

I remember when gas hit 80 cents...that of course was when I started having to buy it myself...in about 1980.

[Lowprofile]

Around the .50/.55 cent a gal. mark sounds right. I remember buying a tankful of gas for my 70' Charger SE  for around $11!  Ahh, the good old days

[triple_green]

I have a receipt for the first tank of premium put in my Charger in May 1968. 32.9/gallon. A Shell station 2 blocks S. of the Dealership the Charger was purchased at. Both businesses still exist, and the Shell sells racing fuel as well.

I remember 25.9 at a chevron in SF bay area(1966). You could see the refinery in the background while filling up at the station.

When I started buying in CT it was $0.89 a gallon.  Early 90's.  I can remember when I got my Texaco card and would freak when premium was $1.499.  I paid over $380 one month just for gas for the Charger only.  Now if I do take her out, it is $2.719 per gallon premium.
Oh and the news last week just said that the oil company profits are at an all time high for a quarter, I wonder why?

[Silver R/T]

I remember .99c for 87 about 5 yrs ago

[Plumcrazy]

In high school I remember paying about 32 or 33 cents a gallon.
We would pass the hat around, everybody would throw in whatever loose change they had in their pocket and we'd have enough to drive around on that night.

[Ponch ®]

when I first started driving (in late 96-early 97) it was .89 or so, and it hovered at around that price for a year or so.

Funny story about that, one time I was filling up before I headed for school and a tv news crew was doing a story on the cheap gas prices(!). They came over and asked me if I wanted to be interviewed. They asked me if I knew why prices were so low. Now, the day before we had a pretty long conversation on that very subject in my economics class, so i proceeded to give em a full on lecture which ended with "and that's why it's cheap". I told everyone at school and I got home later that night waiting to see my incredible performance. So the report comes on...and they showed me for half a second saying "cheap".

BTW   also remember in late '01- early '02, gas was at .99 or so.

[chargerhunter]

The lowest I can remember is around .75 per gallon in the early 80's. I would just like to see it at $1.50 again!! 

[my73charger]

Ahh the good old days.  I remember full service and getting the winshield washed...always.  My Dad parked a 57 Merc he had when prices hit 25 cents.  He went out and bought a volkswagon bug...yuck!  I wonder if we will ever see under $2 again.

[BigBadCharger]

95 cents for the cheap stuff. Now it's 2.59 for 87! 

[69_500]

When I first started driving it was around $.80 a gallon. However the cheapest I ever paid was $.067 for unleaded and $.77 for premium. Both times in Georgia. Funny thing is that at that time it was $1.55 for some 110 octane racing fuel and I thought that was outrageous.

When I first picked up my 74 Plymouth Duster I filled it up with 108 octane gas for $1.42 a gallon, and thought it was going to kill me to spend $30 for a tank of gas.

Now when I stop in the 500 to fill it up it is closer to $52-55 to fill the car up with just premium.

[67RedCharger]

Back in 57/58 I remember the gas wars that brought the gas down to .19 /9 a gallon for regular.  I was driving a 46 Mercury back then, and still could hardly afford to fill the beast up. Pack of cigarettes were .20 a pack with a bottle coke at .05 a bottle.  McDonald hamburgers were .15 a clip.
Hey the gas back then had lead in the stuff which would make the stuff racing fuel today.  Back then it was plain and simple "GO Juice"

[charger490]

i know this will hurt guys but 6 gallons for a 1.00 back in 1940 cigaretts 15.cents  charger490

[ChargerRob]

.78 cent a gallon is lowest I bought gas for.

[NHCharger]

Not sure. I got my license in November 74 right when the oil  embargo was about to hit. I remember sitting in line for 45 minutes for $5.00 of gas (that's all the station would sell you) thinking that life sucks.

[gsmopar]

about $.87.   I'm only 30.  

+1, I think it was 1998 and I'm 31!   

Gas...Smash...   Hybrid vehicles, 30+ mpg...   It's all a band aid for the problem which I feel is fossil fuel period!   My charger would be much happier running on alcohol.   I'm sure that there are multiple other safer/cleaner fuels we could be burning, but OPEC lobbiests keep us paying the middle east our hard earn $$$.   

my $.02.   You guys?
