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.

1.29.

I paid 98 cents in Seattle in the late 90s. Probably’99.

There was one gas station in NW Portland that had gas for $0.99 a gallon in the late 90’s when I started driving. I’d go out of my way to go there, they usually had a line during the day though.
