That much, huh? I complained when it got that high.

I remember by Dad telling me that his co-workers used to give him crap because he paid $0.26 a gallon for Arco white gas. They were astonished that he would ever pay that much for gas.

I remeber when I thought 70 cents a liter was paying to much here in Australia. It cost me over $100 to fill my petrol tank the other day. I can just dream of when petrol cost 30 cents a liter!

Yeah but lets not forget what we were making back in those days.

I dont even remember prices like that.

Cheap fuel for me was 79.9p per litre (about $1.40c to you guys)

Actually, I can remember paying in the $0.40-$0.50/gal price range in Aransas Pass, TX as recently as 1998.

One would think so but your rate of pay at the time this was taken would even make the .32 cents seem very expensive.
