Gas Prices

[DMZ-LT]

Couldn't find the thread Ron started on this a few days ago - anyhow USA Today reported , today , the lowest gas price in the world is in Caracas , Venezuela , @ 28 cents a gallon.

Mite far to go to fill the tank ain't it?

Due to the general strike in Venezuela, and despite the fact that they are 5th in oil exports, Venezuela is having to import gasoline from its neighbors. Its refining facilities have been shut down for weeks, squeezing exports to nil, helping our fuel prices to increase, and giving their Pres. Chavez the fits in how to solve the problem. He's such a fan of Castro, maybe he'll just gulag his opposition like Uncle Fidel does.

28 cents is what I paid on base at Benning in 1967.

Cheapest I ever paid was .19.9 in about 1970. Used to fill up for a couple bucks, max.

During a gas war in Oklahoma City in 1963, I remember it costing just over a dollar to fill the tank of my 1956 plymouth.

[blues clues]

back then they really had some real good gas wars never got it for 8 cents though, remember when the wife and I came back from Mass. gas down here was 32.9 we aked if they were having a gas war people here was mad because it was so high this was 71.

in the early 1960s in Memphis, TN., we had a Pure gas station and I believe a Gulf station, that gave away old silver dollars ( from the 1880s and 1921 ) for a fillup. Considering that gas was probably 35+ cents or so a gallon, this seems kind of odd now. I still have 3 of these old dollars...

As I recall, gas prices got near $ 1 around 1978 - 79 or so. Considering inflation since then, the price now is fairly reasonable....

in San Francisco is highest in the country, well over $2.00 for regular. Good thing I live across the Bay :D . Filled up at my favorite station, an ARCO, yesterday for $1.85 for regular. The nearest station in my neighborhood, also an ARCO, is at $1.97.

LEG: Glad to see that you made it over here from the War Board over at the History Channel. Always enjoy your posts. You'll find a good bunch of people here. Looking forward to seeing more of you here, Sir.

87 proof $1.68
89 proof $1.78
91 proof $1.88
93 proof $1.96
It's going up fast and I'll bet when the state budget comes out in July it will include additional tax, regardless of international affairs.

Stay healthy,

$1.469 a gallon of regular at Cosco. I have read , for some reason , that Atlanta has the lowest gas prices in the states.
