Dust the cobwebs off your brain and tell me….
How low can you go?

Filling up the tank hurts these days. But it wasn’t always that way. I fondly recall pulling into a gas station and not paying a bit of attention to the price.
And while I remember the oil embargo of the 1970’s, I was a child and couldn’t tell you what my parents paid when the stations were open on alternating Monday and Thursday afternoons.
Newly married in the early eighties? Gas up the road from our house in North Carolina was .79 cents a gallon.
I filled my car for $11.06.
Doesn’t that sound wonderful?
Now you.
What’s the cheapest price you remember paying?

In college, my parents paid me petrol money–2000 rs per month in 2009-10. 1 ltr per day was all I needed: 52 Rs. I used to save a lot and buy a lot of knick snacks out of the savings. Now I shudder when I stand at the petrol station

Oh I can go a lot farther back than that! I remember the Red Head station in South Charleston selling gas for 28 cents a gallon. Yes!!! TWENTY-EIGHT CENTS!
