So every morning i drive to school, i drive by an old Texaco gas station that closed down in 2001. I never noticed until today, but the sign is still up, with the actual gas prices from back then...
$1.19/Gallon for unleaded. Oh how i miss those days. I could fill up my little truck i had for about $13.

It was $1.57 or so for 93 when I started driving when it approached $2 I was pissed, I would kill for $2/gal now. Ehh can't do anything but suck it up and be glad my insurance rates recently dropped, that's $900 right there a year I get to save.

i remember .99 cents a gallon when i had my first car!! I think they left that texaco sign up there to add to the pain as everyone sees their tank going on empty.

that is exactly the mentality they want to promote though. they condition everyone to think that X price is high and then lower it a little, then do the same thing again and thus the price continues to go up. they will end up draining the masses of any money that they had left and our economy will be in a farther turd bucket than it is already. greed is an awful thing.

Lol, i think so too, because last summer they tore down the building, and the gas pump roof, just left the sign standing, with the prices.
