I agree!! If they suck then you're not out much money. If they're super awesome then you're ahead of the game

im still under 3 bucks for 93 here, 10 miles form the gwb.

we also pay just about the highest tax in the country on gas, iirc around 70 cents a gallon is tax.

what really kills me is long island is chock full of E85, theres only one way for it to get there and thats through NJ, why dont we have it all over too?

I've wondered that myself! Fkin Jersey!

It's been going up here in the KC area but can still get 93 for $2.74 as of this morning. I run 93 in pretty much everything I own because why not. Filled up one of the tanks in the dually this morning.

When I started driving in 87, gas was .63 cents a gal for regular, some stations still sold leaded. $5 would just about fill my Camaro's (had the Iron Duke 4cyl in it) tank. The good old days.

I believe it. Once me and some other kids got gas in a gallon milk jug lol! He filled it, no questions asked. We then went and torched a Fiero with it.

Agreed. I started driving in '93 and gas was at $0.899. If it even touched a dollar people would start complaining about gas prices LOL

We always have high prices for gas here in the PNW. The only places to get 91 here are the discount stations, the big chains are more like $3.15. They say our blend is different for some reason, tree hugger shit I guess.

All BS. I bet it all comes from the same refineries--same blends.

No, actually I’ve researched it. I don’t remember what exactly it is but ours is similar to what Cali uses just a bit different. Plus taxes are different in the county I live in so that sucks too.

Since we're all reminiscing - Back in the mid 70's I had this Honda 50. I think back then a gallon of gas was 55 cents and so was a pack of cigarettes. We're lucky that gas isn't that expensive today.

Growing up we owned a candy store--sold soda, candy cigarettes etc. I remember a pack of cigarettes being 40 cents and 100's were 45 cents. I'm not sure about other parts of the country but around here a pack of cigarettes are $7---$10--for a pack!

I remember when cigs were 25 cents a pack. I’m old as f*ck.

I’m just thankful I don’t smoke. Cannot imagine trying to keep up with a pack or two a day habit at $7-$10 per that’s spendy!!

Yeah I quit over 7 years ago after smoking for almost 40 years. They were over $4.50 a pack. I remember threatening to quit if they ever got over $1. Oregon just passed a new $1.50 (iirc) a pack tax and I notice I don’t even see prices advertised outside the stores like they used to. I’m not sure what they cost.

In 6 months you’ll think $3.19 is cheap.

X2....
