First tank of gas I paid for was at 39.9 a gallon... and my minimum wage job paid 1.90 an hour. I figured out that it cost me 3 1/2 hours of labor to fill up the tank and swore that was the last tank of gas I'd ever buy. I was horrified.
First tank of gas I put in the first new car I ever bought was at 56.9 and that was an increase over when I ordered the car when it was at 49.9. Jimmy Carter was president and the oil embargo was in full swing. I sat in a line of cars for over an hour to put that tank of gas in the car.
Most I ever paid for gas was $3.65 a gallon, just one more thing I always hated about Obama.
I put 2 gallons of gas in the car last Saturday (all I'd used in 3 weeks) and paid $1.85 a gallon for it.
I haven't looked at the non-ethanol gas prices. I paid $3.99 a gallon for my non-ethanol storage gas the first part of March... stupid expensive but I've got it and that was worth a lot for my peace of mind at the time. It'll hold me through hurricane season if I don't need it now.
What I truly hate is right now gas is cheaper than it has been in a longggggg time. And I can't go on a road trip. I could put some miles on a vehicle right now with gas at these prices.
