Re: Gas under $1
In late 1966, I bought a new 1967 Mustang GT fastback. When I left the dealer, I stopped at a nearby gas station and filled the tank. Gas was 35 cents per gallon, and the fill up cost about $7.00. I remember thinking I hope I will be able to afford to drive this car. I kept it for 3 years, and traded it for a new 71 Torino fastback with a 351 Clevland V8. Gas mileage wasn't important then. Wish I still had them both today.

Re: Gas under $1
California also has very high gas taxes per gallon. Depending on the location, it can be as much as a $1 per gallon, .80 per gallon seems standard.

Re: Gas under $1
IF the taxes collected on fuel are actually ALL used for infrastructure, I have no problem with that.

Re: Gas under $1
You got that right as always the prices will go sky high after and the thing is most of it go's in someones pocket that's what makes me mad just like what they do with the S/S system there putting that out of business because of it.
Try living on just that if you figure out what you get for a month it's less then what the min wage is. But maybe not in all states but it sure is in my state Last edited by reggiedog; 01-21-2016 at 08:26 AM. |

Re: Gas under $1
As I recall, my Dad drove us into Seneca, Missouri from Oklahoma and a billboard read, "Welcome to Missouri Where Gas is Cheaper at 17 cents per gallon". Believed to be in the early 50's.

Re: Gas under $1
Best price I can remember was 1971 gas wars in Tampa fl and regular was down to 17 cents and high test was 20 a gallon . I had a Boss 429 mustang and was using Sunaco gas which had a pump you could dial. Up the octane that you wanted and I was using 260 octane and it was 27 cents a gallon. Those were the days and with all of the lead that's was in the gas with the high octane that Boss motor really could be heard from quite a distance .

I worked at a company that supplied the mining industry for over 100 years, you could see the work in the shop disappearing. Four years ago, we had more than enough work, now the guys who didn't lose their jobs are doing busy work. The work force has been reduced by 70%. Great gas prices though! My best friend is ecstatic about them and can hardly quit talking about it. |

Re: Gas under $1
I think gas will stay low for a long while this time, the world is awash in oil.
Saudi Arabia has gotten itself between a rock and a hard place, it's trying to shut down American producers like it did in the '80's, and then raise prices once that is done, won't work this time. Prices go up and American frackers kick in again, America has been sharing the fracking technology with other Countries so now it's not Saudi Arabia against America, it's now Saudi Arabia against the World. Saudi Arabia can no longer price fix the World oil prices, they have screwed themselves by not investing the money they have gouged from the American/World consumer back into their economy, instead building new palaces and buying toy's for themselves. This oil price fixing garbage started with Nixon...but this is not the place too talk about that. Enjoy the low prices...Sorry about your job, as always, it will work out.
