Condor Posted September 9, 2011 Author #26 Posted September 9, 2011 Come on Condor, fess up. What is the cheapest price for gasoline that you can remember. Heck, I'm not that much younger than you and I can remember buying gas for my 39 Olds for 17 cents a gallon. And I was earning the princely sum of 75 cents and hour. Ah yes. The good old days. Whachu mean younger???
Yammer Dan Posted September 10, 2011 #27 Posted September 10, 2011 I paid 11 & 9/10s cents per Gallon. A gas war in Colorado. I kept my big Buick Invicti full!! This was in 1970.
Rocket Posted September 10, 2011 #28 Posted September 10, 2011 Didn't both of you guys make dino oil personally out of your pet dinosaurs ? Nope, they saddled up & rode them..... :rotf:
Stache Posted September 12, 2011 #29 Posted September 12, 2011 Nope, they saddled up & rode them..... :rotf: That would make the dinosaurs pre-First-Gen? Wow, they must have been REAL FAST....
Rick Haywood Posted September 12, 2011 #30 Posted September 12, 2011 LOL ... in those days we could "cruise" all night long on 2 bucks worth of gas... heck, today it's more like $40 ... or 2,000 percent higher! Now if only my income had increased by that % !!! Hasn't it? I made about $85 a week in 1974 and gas was around 45 cents a gallon. After doing some desciffering I believe my wages have went up more than gas, percentage wise.

Black Owl Posted September 12, 2011 #34 Posted September 12, 2011 Hey, I still pick up penny's. Me too. But the boss calls it a pay cheque.
Rocket Posted September 13, 2011 #35 Posted September 13, 2011 Hey, I still pick up penny's. We had fun with that, at the shop in Wainwright..... The coins were, epoxied to the floor, so if someone wanted them, they had to work for them......... :rotf::rotf:

I went back to the car and got a hammer and chisel. Easy.. I think I still have that dollar in a jar somewhere....
