What is the LOWEST price you can remember for Gas?

I'm a 50-something with a long memory. I can remember way back to the days of my youth when there were gas wars between service stations, and the price would go down into the 20-odd cent range. That would have been in the late 50s or early 60s. When I married in 1969, gas was priced in the mid 30s (cents, that is). I'm sure my mother (now in her 80s) can remember even lower prices. Amazing, isn't it? I will likely live to see gasoline exceed $10/gallon. Is it time to say, "We've come a long way, Baby!"?

The farthest back I can remember on gas prices is when I was..nine or ten, and it was a dollar something. Gosh that sounds like heaven today.

I specifically remember buying gas when I was in college (about '95 or '96) that it was hovering around the $.98/gal mark. Every now and then, it would go up over a dollar and me and my roomate would be like "oh that's too much, I'm not buying gas today, I'll wait until the price goes back down!" Ah, those were the days...

I remember gas wars when I was a teen and able to get gas a few times at 10 cents a gallon!

In 1967 when I got out of high school it was about 20 cents a gallon. Boy have things chanced. Everything was cheaper then. In fact just about anyone could, if they wanted to, fix their own cars in their back yard. But, no more. Cars are just too complicated these days. Plus the gas companies were making huge profits in those days as well.

The lowest price I can remember for gas was .99 cents. Those were the days! Nowadays I have to choose between milk and gas when money is short. I can't believe how the economy has changed and how hard it is to save money. Gas keeps rising and pay stays the same. I was in my last year of high school when gas was .99 cents. I don't ever expect it to go that low again, but 2.50 would be nice.

I can remember my mom griping about the 59 cents per gallon when i was a kid. lol By the time I started buying gas for my own car in late '89, it was right around 89c a gallon. It cost me $15-$20 to fill the tank in my '78 Le Mans each week...goodness, I miss those days.

When I first came to the States in 1977 a gallon of gas cost 65 cents. Which compared to Europe was really cheap.

Eleven years ago when I was sixteen, I would drive about 30 minutes to pick up a friend, and I would stop and fill up at a gas station close to her house. At the time it was 76 cents per gallon. Where I lived it was only 78 cents. Oh how I miss those days!

I remember my father driving away from a gas station saying he was not paying .29 a gallon for gas.

For some reason 59 cents per gallon comes up in my mind. I just looked it up for the year 1970 and it was 36 cents per gallon. That is when we first started driving and it makes sense now because I remember only having a dollar and was able to get enough gas for a few days.(see and you thought you dated yourself). I also remember about the mid 70's when there was a "gas" crisis of some sort where the prices went up to $1 per gallon and there were long lines at the gas stations, people were definitely panicking, if only we had $1 per gallon prices now. We need to find alternative fuel then and still do today. I am definitely feeling the higher prices. We have to go to work and need our vehicles and unfortunately there is no mass transit to where either one of us works. Would love to get a Hybrid, yeah well they are too expensive right now so cannot do that either. Trying to carpool when we can but that is few and far between.

I think when I was a kid in the 60's the gas was like 39.9 cents per gallon. I distinctly remember riding with the family in our car and my dad saying to the guy who pumped the gas (ha, ha) "I'll take a dollar's worth." What a joke you couldn't fill up a one gallon gas can for that these days.

I guess I'm really showing my age! In high school, all the friends who rode in my car had to take turns paying for gas. It cost 2 gallons for 25 cents!

I don't remember the amount we paid but it had to be cheap back in the early 60's. I remember my cousin and I pooling our 50 cents each, buying $1 worth of gas, taking off to town and running around all day on Sunday! My husband said he remembers paying $.175 cents a gallon for gas on base in Wichita Falls, TX around 1967 or 68. I wish we could roll back the time and get those prices back!

Wow, talk about dating MYSELF - when I first started to drive at 16 back in 1968 gas cost about 28 cents a gallon. It was nothing to stop at the gas station and ask for a dollar's worth. Annie

I remember gasoline being 99 cents a gallon. That was 11 or 12 years ago. If only it could cost that much again. $4.55 a gallon (what I paid the last time I got fuel) is a big difference compared to the good old days.

$1.23 per gallon. I can remember being a kid and looking out the window and that is what the sign said. I'm not that old, but that was probably twenty or more years ago. Considering that milk cost less than a dollar a gallon and rent for a small house was less than $200 monthly, back then, we are probably lucky that gas prices didn't go up sooner!

I started driving in 2004. I remember gas being a little over a dollar. I used to be able to full up my tank for 18 dollars, and have it last all week. I don't drive that often now because I can't afford to just take a drive anymore.

I remember back when I was still in high school and was working a part time job after school, I could stop at the gas station on the way home and put in about $2.00 worth of gas and have enough gas to make it home and to school the next morning (and that was with my gas tank being on empty). Ah...the good ole days. Definately not that way anymore :(

it was Rp 500 (Indonesian Rupiah) per liter for gasoline and the foreign exchange was US$1=Rp2,500. in present day, the gasoline price is Rp6,000 per liter and the foreign exchange is US$1=Rp10,000. another lowest price that i ever remember was a pack of smoke. it was Rp 750 per pack (with some foreign exchange) for Gudang Garam International brand mark. Right now, Rp7,500 per a pack for the same brand mark.
