You started driving early, lol.
I remember at that same time, similar price, and kids from jefferson parish were driving to chalmette to save 5 to 7 cents. Lol. Didnt seem worth it but all we did was drive around anyway most of the time so might as well be productive, lol

Geezer.

You were buying it at the pharmacy in those days, weren't you?

(For you youngsters, gasoline was originally sold in drug stores.)

I was 7 in Norco at the time, and I think it was $0.23/gal there. Would walk the 2 blocks to the gas station (because you could at that time) with a gallon can for the mower.

No way, man. Some of our politicians keep raving that the oil & gas industry is manipulating prices and gouging Americans.
