I used a gas coupon from my grocery store the other day and paid 1.40 a gallon. Course I'm an oldtimer and saw gas during a gas war at 12.9.
Oldtimer here too. I remember those "gas wars". I don't remember it going to 12.9 but I do remember it at about 18.9. We could ride all night on .50 cents worth of gas. Oh, and BTW you could get oil for about .10 cents a quart and most of us needed it because those old cars burned oil like it was water.
