Gasoline only $2.22/gallon at local stations!

[MikeM.]

The low price combined with the good fuel economy of the CX-5 means I'm spending almost nothing on gas these days.

Now I just need to decide what to do with all that cash building up in my bank account.

In my life I think the cheapest price I can remember is around $0.78 cents for regular in '86 or '87. I also remember the red, green and yellow flags for gasoline availability in the '70's. IIRC yellow was for emergency vehicles only.

I used to pump Chevron Custom Supreme (100+ octane-rated the old way) for 31 cants a gallon at my after school job every day. That's all I would ever consider using in my 390 CI Galaxie 500. Frequently gas wars would bring regular under a quarter a gallon in the early 60s.

Lucky SOB's! In Brooklyn NY, I just paid $2.83. Gas is still pricey here...

10 miles away in Jersey City it can be had for only $2.19.


That's cheaper than motorists paid in the 1920's (normalized for inflation).

That's not too bad. In the 1980's my buddies and I used to bring a few 5 gal. jerry cans to the local airport and fill them with 105 octane leaded regular for our high performance motorcycles. We paid $5.00/gal. which, adjusted for inflation, would be over $10/gal. today.

$1.83 per gallon of regular gasoline at a Speedway station in Valparaiso, IN yesterday. How low will it go?

First time I went to the USA (1997 I think) I was in Austin, stopped at a gas station, the guy walks out and says how much, I said just fill it, he said but how much, I thought for a few secs and I remember something about it has to be an amount not just a fill up, so I took a wild guess and said 20 dollars....they guy burst out laughing and asked where the 2nd gas tank was! It was 99c a gallon then, I should have thought about it a bit longer! I was also trying to remember the name of the candy to get, some friends told me I had to try them, eventually remember it was Twinkies, very addictive

$1.99/gal on a trip home yesterday in Fredericksburg, VA!! I had just under half a tank but prices were ~$2.11 and then saw $1.99 and just had to fill up. This is compared to ~$2.23 near home in Northern VA right now.
