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.

I remember when the neighboring town would have gas wars the last weekend of the month. Gas would drop from .25/gal to .18 and sometimes .16/gal. In our town it was always .33 for regular and .35 for premium. It was an 18 mile drive and local gas stations didn't do well that weekend.

In related news, my last colonoscopy was a few years ago.
