$0.89 for me. We used to be able to scrounge the ash tray and seats and get enough money for gas and some chicken sammiches from McDonald's on Friday nights.

I remember back in the late 70's when the oil crisis hit and gas went over $.99. All the pumps were 2 digits and they had to start selling it as 1/2 gallons and liters.

I remember pulling up to the pumps when I was a kid when it was full service and my mom would say $5 worth please. They would also check the oil and clean your windshield. Good times.

Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just telling you @Jackcrevol has a different story. It involves you and a trip to the ER. If this is false you need to set the record straight. Also, I've been told that women find a scar on one's face to be attractive. TIFWIW.

So you believe in communism. No wonder you're so bad at coaching the LVs.

I recall doing this in the mid 90’s (high school). Amazing how times have changed.
I actually remember scrounging up ash tray change for a sixer of Natural Light.

Those college girls from Russia, that came over on the work program every year thought the birthmark on Gorbachev forehead was sexy...

These young ladies were gorgeous....

Actually thought about going and getting a port wine tattoo on my forehead..

The lowest I ever paid for a gallon of gas was 0.58 cents per gallon, probably in the mid to late 80's, there was a gas war locally. I recall paying between 0.80 to 0.95 cents per gallon regularly during that time period of the 1980s. The lowest I ever saw as a kid was probably the early 1970s with my Dad and I want to say it was between 0.25 to 0.35 cents per gallon, like 1972, etc.

New Year’s Eve of 1974, that baseball changed forever. That was the day that Jim "Catfish" Hunter left the Oakland A’s after an arbitrator named Peter Seitz ruled that the A’s had violated Hunter’s contract by not paying him money he was owed.

In that moment, Hunter -- one of the great pitchers of his time -- became baseball’s first free agent. Ring out the old. Ring in the new.
Hunter signed with the Yankees on a five-year, $3.25 million contract.


In todays money.........his contact would equal.........5 years, $20 million..............or 10 years $40 million.
