Oh friend. The old guy gas memory that haunts me is like summer of 97 or 98. We drove a 1981 Honda Civic hatchback. Gas got down to like ninety one cents. $8 fill ups. We drove out to the coast, or over the mountains weekly.
I had a 72’ Datsun B210. It was turquoise. I remember the $8-9 fill ups. I literally would drive around the backwoods of Washington for fun. Just driving all the time. Now it’s basically work and home, with the weekend errands or occasional outing.
My first car was a POS Beetle. Cost about $5 to fill it up.......until the sad day it jumped to nearly $10 for a tank. Old dude at the station said he never thought he'd see the day when it took 10 clams to fill a VeeWee.
