What is the lowest price that you remember for it ?

I think I remember around 30 cents a gallon when I was a kid.

You can get a cent sign in "character map" if you have Windows. You have to open it, then "Select" the symbol and "copy". I the text you then have to hit Ctrl and V together. That will paste in in the text.

I don't know if this thread is all about gasoline prices
I remember paying 5 cents for a chocolate bar back in the 50's

I remember the gas shortage too, when people were stealing gas from parked vehicles. I used to park by backing up as close to my brother's car as I could to prevent theft because my filler was under the plate.

During that period I worked exactly opposite the townhouse where Paul Simon lived with his first wife & little kids. We would watch them all the time, me & my assistant. One day we saw 2 guys siphoning gas from Paul's car and I called the police, who came Real Fast. Paul sent roses to us the next day!
Ps, I also watched when Paul's wife kicked him out of the house, but that's a whole other story.

When I bought a car and had to fill it up with petrol the price was 2 Australian shillings per gallon
That was prior to the conversion to decimal currency in 1966
Now it is around $1.20 AUD per litre so that is approx. $5.50 AUD per gallon

We got petrol from Costco for 95 cents , however it’s $1.19 Ltr where I live
