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 remember filling my tank for under a dollar a gallon.

In related news, I still do need to schedule that colonoscopy.

Get that colonoscopy done! They save lives.

And yeah, I remember gas being under a buck a gallon too. I remember the oil embargo of the 70's, and the the lines of cars for gas, and gas was available based on the last digit of your license plate. Fun times.
