Kind of Funny (More Gas Prices Talk)

[Vteckidd]

SO i was driving down Austell Road going to Mainstream the other day.

On the corner of County Services and Austell there is a CHevron. Across the street is a Texaco that has been closed down for about 5 or 6 years.

CHEVRON GAS PRICES
87- $3.85
89- $3.95
93- $4.05


TEXACO GAS PRICES (their signs were still up)
87- $1.29
89- $1.39
93- $1.49

I wish i had a camera it would have made for a good shot.

Crazy how far we have come

[Spektrewing386]

300% price increase in less than 7 years....

very impressive

[Echonova]

I remember when I moved to Tucson in October '99, I filled up @ QT for 79 cents a gallon. Got to Tucson and gas was $1.34 and I almost had a heart attack. Now gas is cheaper there than here...

[On_Her_Face]

i would be happy if premium was back to 3.00 a gallon

[Sol-Badguy]

I really hate driving by that gas station and seeing the prices..
I'm about to head that way now. :(

I'll grab the picture for you, Mike. :goodjob:

[Kamikaze]

I pass by there a lot and have never even noticed that.

When I got my Neon back in 2005, it took less than $25 to fill the tank. Now it takes almost $50.

Yeah, it's kinda depressing.

[khan351]

I was in the Air Force back then, and I filled up my CB7 for 76 cents/gallon (on base at the AAFES gas station).

It's one thing when 80 year olds say they remember when the fattest burger you could buy, some fries and a coke was $1.25... that's expected b/c 60 years or so has passed since then. But I am only 29 years old - there is NO WAY IN H3LL I should have lived to see gas go from $.76 a gallon to what it is now. :no: I don't even wanna know how much it will be when I am 80.

[MistaCee]

Lol If I saw that I'd pull over looking for gas.

[SOHC MONSTER]

I see those 2 signs all the time when I pass through powder springs. I wonder how many people actually notice the old texaco sign......

[ISAtlanta300]

It's actually at the intersection of Callaway road and Austell Road.. I live around there...

[Ed]

i was like sweet cheap gas.
