haha. i wanna hear how much THEOLDMAN paid for gas when HE first started driving...
The super Sunoco 260 was 25-30 cents a gallon, regular was usually around 22-25 cents, every once in a while there would be gas wars and regular could be found for 14 cents a gallon around Detroit.

BTW I got my first driver's license in 1966.

If I recall correctly it was around $1.00 in the DC area back in 97...... Not to mention you could get a pack of smokes for under $2
I quit smoking when the price of cigarettes skyrocketed from 35 cents to 50 cents a pack.
