Yep, In Texas we could buy Crow Flite gas for .12 to .15 a gallon.

I don't really recall the cheapest, but I sure remember when it hit $1.00! I had a very young family at the time & didn't make much (ok, still don't ), so it really left a dent in the 'ol wallet.
I remember the gas stations all had to change their price signs to fit another digit in there.

lowest i remember is 14 cents, 19 cents was common at that time.even at 50 cents you could fill your truck for under $10.

ya i figured the guys in texas would be lower, but not alaska.

I remember when .25 would filll a gas can up and you could get a pepsi for a 15 cents and a Zero candy bar for a dime.

boy this is sickening especially since some bastards gold plated toilet just broke and theyve jacked it up to 2.25

I don't remember the lowest
but I remember when we went metric
the price was around 99 cents a gallon then the goverment introduced metric and price dropped to 26 cents a litre
Interestingly enough goverment was involved in gas industry owned a little fuel company called Petro Canada!
saved the industry millions in not having to replace pumps with new ones with dollar digit
To this day I will not buy fuel there unless I have absolutely no choice
Sorry for standing on the box but it PO's me to this day

13 cents a gallon. However a new Corvette was $1,899...

when I started driving gas was 92 cents a gallon.

It was 46.9 when I was 18 pumping gas for dope money.

that was in Detroit, not Alaska.

.49 is the lowest I remeber. About 10 years agothe local grocery chain got into price war with another local vendor, it got down to .56, of course gas was only 1.25 back then.

I remember premium for .35 it took 15 or 20 cents to fill up my minibike back then

Lowest I recall was $.079 a gallon. $5 a week wasn't bad making $2.35 an hour. Now it's more like a days pay to fill the tank an I fill up twice a week!

When I watched my father pump it. I remember about .25. When I pumped my own was about .75.

We're being taxed to death by the goverment,I heard about half the money for a gallon of gas was in taxes. Trucking at $ 2.49 a gallon for diesel sucks 5 miles per gallon
THE CHEAPEST I REMEMBER IS .29 CENTS AROUND 1973
