What's the least amount you remember paying for gas?

I remember filling up my 1980 Pontiac Sunbird with $0.61/gallon gasoline from a Happy Mart gas station (something like that). I think that was 1988. Paid $5 to fill the tank! :Q

Now that's a little over two gallons...sad.

In my mind I seem to remember paying $.19 a gallon at Terrible Hearbst, one of the first Self Serve Gas Stations in the Bay Area but when I check the prices back in 1970 the lowest they go is $.28 a gallon so that's probably what I paid.

At this point, I'd be happy with sub-$1 again. :)

Well if you adjust the price back then for inflation of today I believe the $.28 a gallon is much more than $1.00. That said, it would be nice to pay under a buck a gallon.

The early summer of 2000 it was below 90 cents a gallon, IIRC. I remember filling up with a $10 bill.

.90-something within the last decade... somewhere between '96-'99.

~$.86/gal regular.

That didn't last long, ~1989 when I got my license and started driving. Gulf War not long thereafter.
