Why, was someone paying your gas bill?

Gas actually dropped 10c here in the past couple days. Down to $5.69!

Gas bills used to be an afterthought in the good old days I think is the point. It takes $100 to fill my car, used to be $50 or under. Double the price many many people can’t weather. We literally go nowhere except for random drives and piddly errands and our gas bill is over $400 a month.

lspi? gfi? gtfo?

most people only filling a car every 2-3 months wouldn't care about gas prices.

i fill every couple of weeks i guess, and still don't care, because there's nothing i can do about it. if need be, i'll raise my business rates.

Huh????? Where was gas $1.40 a gallon? I must of been asleep. Oh yeah, I live in California. Never mind

I filled up at the edge of Beverly Hills once for $2.55 a gallon premium off Burton, I specifically remember being like HUH.

I also HATE the way your pumps are, with the seal or whatever at the end.

My wife and I remember when gas used to be 99 cents a gallon in Sacramento, CA…back in high school during mid-1990s, lol. It must’ve been 50 cents back then for the rest of the country.

It was about 89 cents for regular in 1998 in Tennessee when I started driving.

When I started driving in the 60's gas was around 32.9 (not a typo) everywhere and rarely fluctuated very much. Every now and then for some reason there would be a "price war" in certain areas and it would go down to 20.9-10.9 for a short period of time. Not sure what caused them but was fun while it lasted.

Inflation adjusted 32.9 cents in 1965 is $2.97 in 2022.

Thats to prevent gas vapor from evaporated gasoline. California...

I remember when I was a kid my dad fill up his station wagon and handed the attendant $5. He even got change back. This was when we used to have full service stations. The guy even checked my dads oil....

Interesting. Thanks.

When were the good 'ol days? Back in the 70's I remember paying 50 something cents a gallon, but I only made $2/hr and my car got 8 mpg's. We both know what his meritless "point" was.

AMIRZA786

That's actually pretty true, what we think was the good ol days is very relative. In the 70's when I was a kid my dad worked night shifts as a restaurant manager and brought home something like $170 a month plus tips, his mortgage was $70, and although you could fill up your gas tank with $5, you were lucky to get 10 mpg, and growing up in 70's Los Angeles the air quality was so bad that you choked on smog

Good ole days were when everything was cheap. Who said anything about the 1970s?
