I remember when it was $40 a barrel and gas was around $1 a gallon  It's all BS!
I have a feeling the prices will drop in order for the big 0 to improve his chances at reelection.

kinda hard not to
when every media outlet is saying
the smartest thing to do is to buy gas
to be prepared for the storm
thus increasing the demand.  |

I remember in the 70's we were running out of all fossil fuels. We were waiting in line for max $10.00 worth every other day depending on the last number of your license plate (odd/even).. I was driving a 383 road runner .. Master Blaster chokes off the valve .. Who run Barter Town ? |

Yep ... the 72 gas shortage ... long lines ... my buddy and his brother lived about a block from one of the gas stations and made a killing selling coffee and doughnuts that their mother made for them to sell ...
... granted "a killing" to a 7-year-old in 1972 could have been a mere $5 or $10 bucks ... I have no idea how much he made ... but it was enough to get a newspaper article written about it ...
... and I am sure many of those people waiting in the long lines to buy gas thought better of it after about 20-30 minutes of drinking the coffee ...

Remember all the cool stuff you could get with Green Stamps!
Had a Beetle in those days. My odd day ration of gas lasted a couple of weeks. Very glad for that.

I bought a Martin Automatic Fly reel with green stamps as a kid. Spring loaded retrieve. Robin egg blue, weighed about a lb. Got a cheap flyline, too. Didn't have a flyrod. Put it on a Garcia Conlon 8 or 9ft spinning rod, bought a single royal coachman fly, went fishing in a local pond, hooked a 4" sunfish, and skittered that fish right in with the automatic retrieve. Decided flyfishing was no fun and moved on to snagging pickerel.  |

I remember 4 gallons for a dollar when I had my 65 GTO. My buddies and I would chip in and throw the change we had in our pockets a drive around all night.
Not the same world. Wish I has the foresight to garage that car.

I wish you had the foresight to sell it to me. Right around '80 or so. Garaged or not!

that car right now would be worth something around $30k maybe more.
I saw the original Tin Indian car at my shop a few weeks ago. That was a 66, worth ~250k. It's sitting in the new Pontiac museum now.

Thank goodness I was working in a gas station during the gas shortage and got a full tank whenever I wanted to. We were giving max of $1.00. A lady from NY pulled in and said to fill it up. Told her $1.00 max and she got mad as hell and said OK. She took .75 worth.
