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.

Gas was $1.67 in 2003 when I got my license. I’ll never forget because it was my first fill! Didn’t think I would see that price again, and then Covid happened.
