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.

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.
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.

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.

i remembered when .95 was REDICLOUS! when i first started driving the eclipse in 2001 i could fill up the tank and never touch $20. the other day i filled her up and it took 36
I'm paying $3.39 right now for regular. I guess its almost a blessing that my turd bucket never runs or I'd be paying 30 cents more. I hate California.

Yea I remember when I first got my license, I think it was about $.75/gallon. When it hit $1, I was freakin cause it cost me like $10-12 to fill up. Now its like $2.90/gallon and I dont even want to say how much I spend in gas. It is 15 miles into the city for work/school, not to mention other trips. Ugh....
Yeah i decided that gas prices are too overwhelming for a twin turbo v6, i'm selling the stealth, and hopefully getting an 04 tiburon tomorrow.
