re: Lowest gas price you can remember paying

I want to say the lowest I can remember was either 79 or 89 cents a gallon in spring 1997. I was dating a girl from west Mobile, and I could get $30 out of the ATM in Auburn and have enough cash to get gas for down there and back as well as get food on the road both ways.

When I first started driving in 1975, gas was about 39 cents per gallon. I do remember it being in the low 30s when I was younger.
In 1975, $10 filled up my parents giant Plymouth Fury III. I think the tank held 24 gallons. That car was a tank! I got gas for them all the time. $9-11 per tank. So cheap!

It was around .70$ a gallon when I got my first car in 1978.

Gas is going to be more expensive than bottled water again. I remember my dad losing his mind paying for water. I hope that he can survive $5 and up gas.
To answer the question. .59 a gallon

$.19 per gallon. 1967 or so at a gas station on Veterans Hwy near David Drive / Power Blvd across from a drive-in movie in Metairie. But I could also get live crawfish for around $.20 to .25 cents per pound.

.19 cents for regular @ Billups hwy 51, Hammond, La. 1960.

I remember when I moved here that the price per US Gallon was close to what I had been paying per liter in Europe.
FWIW for according to dollartimes while it was "cheap" it works out to $3.38 in today's dollars. Guess maybe I shouldn't complain too much yet.

25c mid 70s
Posted on 3/8/22 at 11:49 am to ConservativeBamaFan
25 cents in the early 70s before the Arab Oil Embargo. We thought 50 cent gas at the Esso near Westdale Jr. High was ridiculously high

Cheapest I have seen at driving age was $.59 a gallon but that was a promotion at a new station. $.80-$1.00 when I first started driving in the 90's.
I remember friends giving me $1 or $2 a week to pitch in for gas when I drove them around... and I made a profit of it...

Less than a dollar; it was "last century"!

I wasn’t old enough to drive but a friends big brother would take us fishing. He’d drive half way across Memphis to area they would have had wars. 14 cents a gallon is the lowest I remember there, about 1962 maybe?
Moved to Louisiana and, in 1968, got a fill up in a Volkswagen for under $2.00, 17 cents a gallon, Red Bird (I believe) on MacArthur drive in Alexandria. We didn’t fill up very often, usually pooled our little bit of spare cash to get a few gallons, and go for days in that old beetle!!
