Have you seen where they’re starting to say that “peak people“ is going to come sooner than anyone had anticipated? And that’s without any kind of extra real pandemic or war.

We never got below $1.89 at any point, and for the past month have been creeping back up, now $2.15-$2.20.

I couple of months ago I paid 76 cents a gallon because of Kroger fuel points. Filled everything I could lol


When I first started driving I remember paying 95 cents a gallon at one point around 1999?


Now we are back to about $2.20/gal full price.

Well When I Started Driving it was around 63 cents a gallon, and you didn't need any type of "Club Card" to get that price..

Plus they Pumped your gas, washed your windshield etc. Before You Paid....

Good God , I'm old...

Its about $1.89 - $1.99 here in Huntsville AL. Itll be mid $2's or more right before election...always goes up about then.
SWEET MEMORY: I remember coming back to the States in '86 from being on float in the Marine Corps.. left Lejuene to ATL to dropoff a homie just outside ATL...filled up my gorgeous 1970 Dodge Challenger at a Raceway gas station for 55 CENTS a gallon. Even then I remember thinking WOW thats cheap.

I remember as a kid, my dad would have an aneurism if gas went up by a penny. The melt down of big oil, government, and taxes was epic.

Gas is back up to 2.39 from 1.75 (Lowest in my area). Of course our gas tax in PA is something like 77.10 cents per gallon, looking to go up from there. That’s all thanks to our shitbag governor.

I worked at a full service station in the mid '80s and remember when we installed self serve pumps. People would use them and expect us to wash their windows, check tires, etc. I don't remember gas prices, but less than $1 a gallon. My Dad says when he was a young adult, fuel economy was not even a concern. They spent more on tires and tire repairs than gas.

Twenty-three cents a gallon when I was a kiddo. :cool:

And I did the same as Belmont a few months ago, I had been buying groceries for myself and the extended family for about a month, but have been working from home since mid-March. Pre-COVID, I was spending about $200 a month on gasoline, and $300 on tolls.

So I bought 14 gallons of gas at 39 cents a gallon with the Kroger points - woot!

Its around $2.10 in Central NY and we are the land of TAXs on everything ! Hell I'm not complaining at this point,I remember when it was over $4 bucks a gallon years ago ! I'm "really" old,LOL as a kid I remember .19cents a gallon and Sunoco 260 which was well over 100 Octane was .29cents a gallon. When I was in Collage (72/73) I remember the Odd/Even days for buying gas and it was around .55cents ! The 1st time I ever saw $1.00 a gallon was in 79 after a buddy & I got out of the service and we were traveling around out West and saw that price outside of Yosemite National Park in CA ! :p

They are around $2.15-2.20 for premium right now (I have to run that)

I don't think we got that low south of Norman, OK, but I remember seeing those prices up north. Sitting at $1.99+ depending on where you get it.
