If you remember, what did gas cost when you gradutaed high school?

[JOHNDEEREGN]

It was 1987 for me, and I had an 87 GT Rustang,

Until I got whipped by a black cutlass, but thats another story .

IIRC it was around .89-.99 for premium.

 

[EVIL]

Yep 88 for me and gas was around 98 cents Good times!

D

 

[PLAINWHITE T]

Class of 1985....1971 Chevelle (rust/bondo bucket). Around 95 cents/gallon.

 

[jdpolzin]

Graduated in 99, gas was always around $0.95-$1.10.

 

[Grumpy]

.23/25 unless gas stations had a "gas war" then it would be 17/19 !!

 

[TurboTGuy]

Phoenix, AZ 1978 - $.72 per.

In '76 when I got my Licence it was $.62

You SURE it was a Cutlass?..... It didn't go WHOOOSH, did it?

 

[ZNix]

With the growing trend.. I am guessing about $5.00 per gallon by the time I graduate..

 

[Guess]

I remember it got down to .66/gal for a short time around 1985-86. It was awesome since my 1966 Ford pickup got 8 MPH. Around 1987 when I graduated it was always around a buck.

[JOHNDEEREGN]

By the looks of my spelling in the thread title, it doesnt appear I did graduate high school let alone college

 

[turboc87gn]

In 1996 it was .75 .85 and .95 for reg,mid and premium......

 

[dynoman]

In '72 I visited my friend in Florida . He let me drive his '65 289 mustang (running 12.5:1 on the street) while he was at work. The gas gauge didn't work so I would stop and TRY to put in $5 worth and it was always too much !! 1oo+ octane for $.34/gal. regular was $.24 !!!

 

[yelowta]

I remember it being around 1.20 cents when I
graduated 1982 but went down to .89 by Christmas time

 

[charlief1]

It was over $1 and I had to put up with it until 83 and it dropped some. Got to hear all about how the gas was cheap from my dad who used to by "cracked gas" (unleaded in the 30's) for 4 cents a gallon and ethel (leaded) was 8 cents.

 

[turbo39151]

.73 cents a gallon. My first car was diesel

Second!!!!!

Love these 'back in the day' threads. $2's worth of regular, smokes for a quarter, some ice and a $3 case of quarts (plus deposit). Go pick up 'No Good' Swantek and head down County G. Five bucks for a day checking out halter tops at the quarry!

 

[six is enough]

.73 a gallon fill up take girlfriend out for a streak and a show for less than 20 bucks.those were the good ole days.

 

[longball]

around .36 a gallon..................one dollar for pack of smokes, gas for nightly crusin....................

 

[forcefed3.8's]

.99 to 1.1x for the cheap stuff in 2000. Crazy how gas stayed the same, around $1 for so long, then in afew years, quadrupled. Remember how happy we were when it came down to $2.6 afew years ago.
