If you remember, there was a very small window in 1992 where it was about .79 per gallon, and yes, I believe it was a promo. I DISTINCTIVELY remember this, NO BS.

I remember back in '95-'96 I was living in KC and gas was under a $1.

Anyone remember the price wars back in '85? I was 15 at the time, and I recall gas falling to around 30 cents/gal. maybe less.

I also remember it hitting 1.50 and everyone shitting their pants saying it was the end of the world. I had a 71 Chevy Impala, a real gas hog. It was 1991 and gas was definitely 1.49 at the Amoco station on the corner from where I lived...

I remember it spiking to over $1.40 right after Saddam invaded Kuwait, but IIRC that would've been late summer 1990.

I think I've posted this in this thread somewhere before, but the last time I saw gas under a dollar a gallon was in Jefferson City back in the late 90s. Even then, it was so strange that I actually took a picture of the sign.

You know, you are right. My daughter was not born yet, so it would have been 1990.

I recall late 2004/early 2005 being the first time I actually thought about the price of gas.
