An album that was released when gas was about 57 cents a gallon
Yes, I had the maximum $1 per gallon discount because I bought a bunch of gift cards and groceries from Kroger's for Christmas.
Still, $.85/gallon for 87 octane!?!
I haven't seen $.85/gallon for about 25 years.
For that reason, it seemed significant and worth sharing.
This is unprecedented.
LOL! So, Baby Bro was up from San Diego for Christmas. Gorgeous weather (at the time) - so what was he taking pictures of, the mountains, the lake, the trees...no. He was taking pictures of the gas pumps. ;-)
Whoa!
Could’ve filled my tank for $10 bucks.
In taking a look at my gas map for Toledo, I see the lowest price is $1.62 and that was for cash.
It looks like it ranges around $1.69 to $1.79 in Toledo.
So the question is, “WHY is this happening?”
And there will be mindless O-bots praising Dear Leader’s name for it.

I'm highlighting this, because it's important for other readers to see it.
We do the same thing every year: wait until Kroger's has the 4X fuel points promotions for gift cards, and then load up on gifts for friends and family. This year, we had a 70 cent discount, but my new car has a smaller tank and I couldn't pump as much.
I wish I still had the few 5-gallon gas cans I had before we moved (and I gave them away). I could have stored another tankful of gas, and used them instead of filling up at the pump.
I remember when gas went up to .40 a gallon, and my cheapskate brother charged me for it to drive me across town. He hasn’t changed.
Still between $2.199 and $2.899 around here (CO Rockies).
I filled a 55 gallon barrel for $.55/gal. in about 2002........
is this one of those grocery store gas stations? They lower it to 85 cents but it’s subsidized by the sales in the store.
All of the other gas prices there are still 1.88.
It was .49 cents a gallon at the time. Every now and then the Stations would have a GAS WAR and it would dip into the the high .30's ;O
Ah, the old days.

Bush’s fault.
When I left to go into the Air Force in the late 60’s, regular gas was 19 cents a gallon in Tempe, Arizona. We used to collect pop bottles for refunds to get gas money. About 2 hours of collecting pop bottles brought enough money for a date to the drive-in movies and hamburgers, fries and cokes afterwards. Fun times back then.
Wow for thou :-)
I filled up for less than $40 today. What a feeling.
Wow!
I can’t see it getting this low as an average anywhere, though.
In 1974 I had my first car, a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle. Gas cost 50 cents a gallon. With a 10 gallon tank it took $6 to fill ‘er up. I got it right after the first oil embargo so had it roughly Jan-April of 1974.
Me and my buddies could drive for miles in that thing. However, the heat didn’t work, and I was missing a passenger front seat, so I nailed a milk crate there. If I had me, a guy on the milk crate, and two in the back we could get it warm enough for cruising as long as we were constantly wiping the steamed up windows.
Traded it in for a 1967 GTO a guy didn’t want because he couldn’t afford the “high” price of gas anymore!
I did most of my Christmas shopping with gift cards purchased from Giant Eagle (Western PA) and gained what they call fuel perks. Filled up my sons and my car for $1.85 total (30 gallons of 87 octane). I have projects coming up where I will be purchasing gift cards for Lowes and will get a couple free tanks of gas again.
Kudo’s to you for utilizing the gift card “thing”
