Eck Posted January 19, 2016 Share #7 Posted January 19, 2016 When I had my service station in Greenville PA., back in the 70's, I remember walking down the road carrying a sign that said: LAST CAR SERVED...I was only allowed to sell 3,000 gallons of gas a day and as I walked passed all the cars waiting in line to get gas, I would "guestimate" how many cars I could let in / up to the pumps. Once I put that sign on the back of a car all "H" would start with the next driver in line yelling and wanting to kick my butt because he sat in line for an hour already.. Rationing the gas was a pain in the Ash.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowpuc Posted January 19, 2016 Share #8 Posted January 19, 2016 Under 50 cents per gallon at some stations due to a price war.

It is where we had our first Greet - Meet n Eat Meat Hot Dog special last year though - just a little to cold to drift up that way other wise I might have ran up there, filled the bike up and gobbled a Dog or two!! We are still at $1.73 here, how's prices down in the land of Pond Monsters, raffle tickets and free camping? During a gas war in Colorado in 1970 I bought gas for 11 cents a gallon. Anybody beat that?? 1.89 here now. Close,, I remember pumping "200" for .17 a gallon at our home town Sunoco during our gas wars back in the late 60's.. That sweet smelling "260" was still close to 30 cents a gallon,, the price difference had no affect on the Goats, Super Bee's, Chevelles and Stang's appetite's to feed on the stuff though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowpuc Posted January 19, 2016 Share #11 Posted January 19, 2016 I hear that brother.. It is interesting though from a Michigander stand point.. For years our prices here were considerably higher than you folks were paying, seconded only by California prices.. We were always told it was because of special fuel additives required in Michigan.. Last couple years it seems like that has not been the case, wonder if they ran out of additives and now we are buying non-special gas like you Buckeye's have been burning for years..

Zzyzx Posted January 19, 2016 Share #14 Posted January 19, 2016 Lowest gas price in the Sacramento/Auburn CA area runs at $2.25 p/gal and in So-Cal its around $2.65. The state is also looking to add another 6 cents p/gal tax and another $65.00 p/yr to every vehicle registration. Got to find another place to live, maybe head toward Puc's for lots of hog dogs, chips, and lower gas prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
