As a child, I remember there being gas wars in OK. .25 per gal. Late 60's

.89? a gallon in the summer of 1987. There was a glut of production and gas had dropped below a buck for the first time since 1979. I don't think it ever got that low again.

1960s when I was a kid working at a Gulf station pumping gas, washing cars, fixing flats making 50 cents per hour, 12 hours a day........22 cents for regular, 24 cents for mid-grade which no one bought, and 28 cents for ethyl/premium.
Off road (farm) diesel was 10 cents a gallons
We fixed flats for a buck except for 18 wheelers and log trucks which were $4 for outside wheel, $5 for inside wheel.
Car washes were $1.50, grease jobs $1.50 and an oil change averaged about $5.00.
We still pumped the gas, checked under the hood, washed your windshield, and you got S & H or Gold Crown stamps.
And at near age 80 I can still whip most of you punks at anything. So stay off my lawn or meet me at the Tasty Freeze.

$0.86 / gal; 1999 I think
Posted on 3/8/22 at 4:01 pm to ConservativeBamaFan
I remember it being around $1 in the early 2000's. I was in elementary school so obviously never paid.
Lowest I ever paid myself was around $1.50 in 2020.
