Geez....1988 was a LOOOOOOOONG time ago! Best I can remember was somewhere around 65�¢ to 70�¢ per gallon. I do specifically remember Premium at 99�¢/gallon in '93. (I also remember thinking 'NO WAY will I pay that much for Premium!')

I remember when diesel was selling for $.99 for YEARS.
It was weird to see it go up, and then it was more expensive than premium.

In 1990 I was paying anywhere from $0.87 - $0.99 / gallon. I still remember turning in soda cans for gas money, and that lasting me for a week. :P

I started driving in 1999, and I remember it took about 11 bucks to fill up the Tempo. *sigh* and that would last me like 2 weeks because all I did was go to school and back.
Then, not even three years ago I remember bitching about it taking close to 17 bucks to fill up my SE Contour. Now I *wish* it would only take 17 bucks to fill up the SVT.

1997 - $.79/gal Under $15 to fill up my 89 Buick Park Avenue. We need to make a graph of gas prices from say..... 1960 - 2006. It'd look something like this: 1960 - $.22/gal 1970 - $.40/gal 1980 - $.60/gal 1990 - $.70/gal 1995 - $.75/gal 2000 - $1.50/gal 2002 - $1.90/gal 2004 - $2.20/gal 2006 - $3.10/gal Why couldn't it just go up $.10/gal every 10 years like the good old days!

If I remember around $.50 a gallon in 1981. I used to go to Oxford airport to fill my 427 Malibu with 115 octane purple avgas when needed. It was about $1.50 per gallon then. Damn that stuff ran sweet in that car. Too bad it's not manufactured anymore. Car got five or six mpg.  Jim T.
