    I remember 4 gas stations at a Houston intersection having a gas war, all around 25 cents. My dad picked the one giving Houston Oiler glasses.

    When I was in high school, it ran about 26¢. A speaker came to our school, said it would be over $1 in a year or two.

    We all laughed.

    Even today, we have it very good here. In most of the advanced countries, prices are double to near-triple what we pay. There's a reason they drive mo-peds and itsy-bitsy cars.

    I remember being in the truck with my dad, early 70's, driving up to the pump and him saying in disgust "Goollleee, 45 cents!", after an apparent price spike. He actually used a different word from goollleee. After that I started paying attention to gas prices.

    Normal prices where the pump wasn't set incorrectly or some sort of wild promotion - I remember .79 cents during or right after the Gulf War. (I'm 41)

    Is that why the donations rolled in during those times and our success on field skyrocketed? Oh wait..

    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.
