    Default Lolol...gas prices...

    I was looking at this "scrapbook" thing I filled out that we got with our high school graduation stuff. In 1988, gas was $.78/gal. Damn.

    Ending reminisce. Later, QD.

    I remember $.69/gal ~99 when I was rocking my go-cart up to the gas station. I also remember when the stagger was $.10..not $.15 or $.20 between grades.

    When I moved from Atlanta to Tuscon in October 1999, I filled up at the QT on Satellite Blvd (back when that station was new) for .79/gal. Once I arrived in Tucson gas was $1.34 there and I almost shit a brick.

    Damn I remember when I had the taco and gas was .69/.72 when I'd fill up in conyers (in 1998) then when I got back to Dunwoody it was .90 and I thought that was expensive, 'till I moved to MA and paid nearly $5/Gal

    And $20 will almost give me a half tank in the 4Runner, if I had the EG it would be almost full lol

    QD, was this in GA ?

    I visited GA in 1996 and saw gas everywhere I visited in Metro Atlanta between $.49 to $.59 at several Gas Stations.
    Then I moved in 97 to GA and gas was .69 to .79....

    Yes, it was here in Georgia. The price for gas heading into the late 90's was at around what you saw. Prices for gas didn't shoot up like they did in the 2000's. Later, QD.

    Its funny. From 96-97, gas shot up ten cents. It goes up and down 10 cents nearly daily now-a-days.....
