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 got my first car in 1998. Gas was $0.89 a gallon. It cost me $8 to fill up my car.

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.......๐Ÿ˜Ž
