Yeah, and by 1979 it was at around a dollar....which means an increase of around 300%....and all the kiddies are bitching now. Get over it. Gas is still cheap when compared to the late 70's early 80's if you factor in things like inflation etc.

 

[nakedfrog]

We're at $1.99 right now.

 

[BW86]

I remember when gas was $.89 🙁

Do you pay attention to history? in the late 90's when gas was down to $.79 it was priced the lowest it ever has been in history when adjusted for inflatoion and cost of living data. It was up to $1.20 just a few years prior which was still low compared to any other time in history. When I started driving in 1979 it was just during the second oil crisis and gas jumped from $.65 up to almost a dollar is a relatively short period. People in California were paying $1.20 for regular in 1979-80. All the kiddies and young adults bitching now just happened to grow up in a historical period of the LOWEST gas prices ever (underpriced is a better term) and now they can't deal with the reality of gas being priced more where it should be.

[mooncancook]

I rember when i first got my car in around 96-97 gas was $0.99 in CA.

 

[MAME]

unless you drive tons, the gas prices aren't really that big of a deal. Look at the rest of the world, I think the gas prices here are still the lowest

And have been for quite some time. When I lived in The Netherlands in 1969-70 as a child my dad told me recently that the gasoline was close to $2 US then....kind of puts things in perspective doesn't it?

Heh I had a job for a while in high school at a gas station. $0.289 per gallon for regular leaded. I got paid a whopping $1.75 an hour then.
