Yep, In Texas we could buy Crow Flite gas for .12 to .15 a gallon.

I don't really recall the cheapest, but I sure remember when it hit $1.00!

I had a very young family at the time & didn't make much (ok, still don't

), so it really left a dent in the 'ol wallet.
I remember the gas stations all had to change their price signs to fit another digit in there.

lowest i remember is 14 cents, 19 cents was common at that time.even at 50 cents you could fill your truck for under $10.

I don't remember the lowest
but I remember when we went metric

the price was around 99 cents a gallon then the goverment introduced metric and price dropped to 26 cents a litre

Interestingly enough goverment was involved in gas industry owned a little fuel company called Petro Canada!

saved the industry millions in not having to replace pumps with new ones with dollar digit

To this day I will not buy fuel there unless I have absolutely no choice

Sorry for standing on the box but it PO's me to this day

Lowest I ever personally paid was .25. I can also remember paying .60 for 100 octane leaded premium, that would be comparable to what maybe Cam 2 now at about $5 a gallon.

BigTim · Post by **BigTim** » February 28, 2007, 10:25 pm

.49 is the lowest I remeber. About 10 years agothe local grocery chain got into price war with another local vendor, it got down to .56, of course gas was only 1.25 back then.

I remember premium for .35 it took 15 or 20 cents to fill up my minibike back then

Horsepower · Post by **Horsepower** » March 1, 2007, 10:08 am

Lowest I recall was $.079 a gallon. $5 a week wasn't bad making $2.35 an hour. Now it's more like a days pay to fill the tank an I fill up twice a week!

When I watched my father pump it. I remember about .25. When I pumped my own was about .75.

We're being taxed to death by the goverment,I heard about half the money for a gallon of gas was in taxes. Trucking at $ 2.49 a gallon for diesel sucks

5 miles per gallon

THE CHEAPEST I REMEMBER IS .29 CENTS AROUND 1973
