Luxury.
Frankly I don't remember what I paid but when I was a child I remember dad buying gas for well under $.30 and they'd throw in a glass or stamps, something extra with the fill up. They even washed the windshield. That was 60 years ago and EVERYTHING was very different back then.
Brian. Lover of SE razors.
I came to the US in June of 1996. The following year I kept track of gas prices. In 1997 the lowest I paid was 81 cents and the highest was 97 cent a gallon, that was for regular. After this year of 1997, I stopped keeping track of the gas prices. Filled up Wednesday for $5.099 per gallon for premium....Times definitely have changed.
I have some colleagues that drive daily 130 miles or more to and from work and they cringe now about these prices. Glad I am retired now, but before I had only 9 miles to get to work.

I went back to work full time, so we can afford to camp with our RV.
