I remember gas being .39 a gallon. That was before I could drive of course. That was probably 1960s

In the 60s in WI many times I was dropping less than $.20 gal when I went to Great Lakes Dragway. In Chicago and surrounding area a few cents more. It was in 1973 (Arab Oil Embargo) it "shot up" to $30 and beyond. I remember thinking we'd all lose our minds if gas hit $.35! And back then I was driving my big Caddy returning MAYBE 6mpg on premium no less. (had to keep that 472 fed). So I was dropping $.40 or more (if I could even get the gas). There were days I could not get to work because I could not find enough gas. They were limiting us to 5 gallons every other day. Well, 5 gal would not even make a dent. Tough times then

I remember pre 9-11 prices in the 1.20 range, and then the gas stations jumped prices because there were HUGE lines for gas, (which they ended up getting the hammer for), then dropping back below $1/gallon most my junior year.
