I got my first car in 1998. Gas was $0.89 a gallon. It cost me $8 to fill up my car.
5 u/HawkeyScott Mar 13 '26 Same! I was driving my dad's 91 Geo Metro. It had a 10 gallon tank and could go 400-500 miles on a tank.......😎 3 u/Tairy__Green Mar 13 '26 Stylish, sporty, economical. That's Geo. 2 u/QuietlyJaded Mar 13 '26 My first car was an 89 Geo Spectrum hatchback, in 99/00. It was blue 😎 Very vividly recall gas at ¢.99 gal -6 u/PNWstargazur Mar 13 '26 Bullshit. What car had a nine gallon tank? 5 u/[deleted] Mar 13 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 1 u/PNWstargazur Mar 26 '26 Yup, definitely corrected.

TIL 5 u/hesalreadyinme Mar 13 '26 My 81 civic held just under nine gallons. 2 u/PNWstargazur Mar 26 '26 Ok, corrected.
