Never thought I would ever see this.
Cheap.

A couple of the chains here are having problems getting premium, most stations still have it. Premium was $2.15 unleaded was $1.55. I lose 3-4 mpg with the cheap stuff,and a slight loss of power that's not noticeable if the wife's with me. I'll lose a few mpg's to get gas for $1.55 it's been a very long time since I bought gas that cheap. I do remember when $1.55 was ridiculously expensive.
I think the lowest you can remember seeing gas is a measure of how old you are. I may have seen lower, but the lowest I can reliably remember was 29.9 cents/gallon. I will be 63 this year. It was an off-brand gas station, though. 31.9 cents/gallon is the cheapest I can remember brand-name gas.

I think we can all relate to that , I see it more all the time I recall when gas first got up to $1.00 a gallon, I thought this is crazy , people won't stand for it.I was born in '78. I remember gas in the mid 90s at less than a $1.00 a gallon. I could fill my tank for about 10 bucks. Hearing myself say that, I realize i have become my father.

….I'm sure some of us can remember as kids buying candy bars for a nickel, a 12oz bottle of soda for a dime, a fast-food hamburger for 15 cents, ect.
When I was a kid, I don't remember going to a soda machine often enough to remember the price, but I remember for a short time that Hershey's Chocolate Bars were 5 cents, others were 10 cents, shortly to go to 15 cents.
Anybody old enough to remember when McDonald's signs said "Over 12 sold"?
We used to go to Burger Chef occasionally, and we used to get a bucket of chicken at the Red Barn. I still like Roy Rogers, but the one near me burnt up in a 5-alarm fire not too long ago. I hope it comes back.

your town has advanced to the 1960’s! Congrats! /sStill averaging about 2.60 a gallon here in Oregon. Except now we have to pump our own gas. Which doesn’t bother me at all because I would rather do it myself anyways. But it is fun to watch some of the people here try and figure it out.

10-4 when a can of pop went from 10 to 15 cents I was devastated. How dare they?
Loved those 5-cent Hershey bars. Look at them now.

They went the way of the 5 and 10 store
