Akula Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I turned 16 in 89, gas was around $.85/gallon. My current vehicle would have cost $10 to fill. I get right at 330 miles per tank. Today it costs right around $47. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 mine most likely would have been .95 cents to $1.10. I was 16 in 91. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I wasn't 16 that long ago, so 2.19 is the cheapest i remember paying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Cheapest I ever bought gas was $0.99 a gallon. My current car costs $50 to fill up. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 $1.15 maybe...$1.05? Can't really remember fully. I do remember filling my honda civic 2 times a week and it not being a big deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I think it was around 99 cents when I had temps. When I started driving it was probably 1.15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin Miata Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I remember buying it for around $1.25 at the cheapest. Filling it up for about 12 bucks was pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Around $.99. I remember when it "shot up" to $1.19 in 1997, I was amazed to find it for $.99 in Georgia since they don't have a state gas tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Think it was closer to $1.02 a gallon maybe, so I think I paied less than $18 for a full tank that would go 7 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Just under a dollar if I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 http://www.urban.org/UploadedPDF/900836_gasoline_prices.pdf not sure how accurate overall the above is. I don't remember what it was in 1986 but I remember the first time I really cared was after modifiying my 1997 GTP and premium was like $1.25-$1.45 or so. back in 99 I used to drive by a UDF all the time and can remember $.99 all the time for regular but again, I needed premium. If my income went up from 1999 at the same rate gas has, I'd be driving several exotic cars on a regular basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 In June of 95 when I was 18, the prices locally were - 1.17, 1.26, and 1.35. Remember, the spread used to be $.09. When I bought my first tank (at 14.5 years old), it was .89, .98, 1.07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotarded1647545491 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 $0.68 a gallon. Yes, I'm that old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I think the cheapest I've filled up for was around $1.20 per gallon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 .59 a gallon and that was when i was 15. and was in 93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 $1/gallon I think, maybe a touch under. I never gave any though to fuel economy or how I drive. Now I don't drive unless I need to, organize errands to be efficient and quick, and drive very passively. I guess paying 400% more for gas and being a little smarter about my money than I used to be makes quite a bit of difference(that and I don't make enough damn money to afford driving around like most assholes).

HAOLE Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 When I was 16 I think it was about .90 per gallon, about $10 to fill up the old pinto.
