What's the cheapest gas price you remember ?

[Side-Oilers]

Oh yeah...we had Blue Chip Stamps on the west coast (at least in SoCal.) 

Several times a year, we'd take a big paper bag full of stamps to my grandmother who'd paste them in the books and redeem them for dishes, small appliances, etc.  I still have a nice set of eight iced tea glasses she got with stamps. Not low-quality at all.

I remember, about 1965-ish when Blue Chip came out with "Ten Stamps", meaning one large stamp with the value of ten individual "One Stamps."  I think you got a Ten Stamp for every ten dollars spent, and so on. 

Simple fun.  Simpler times.

The station I worked at had Green Stamps. If someone didn't ask they didn't get the stamps. We kept them for ourselves. I spent mine on a golf bag and cart.
Van - you didn't react to my "beautiful" Baldwin Park comment. Did you forget that there were more excons per 100,000 in BP than any other CA city? A friend was a cop there and in contrast to most other cop shops you didn't want day shift. Too many burglary and theft reports to take - you felt more like a clerk. Night shift was spent breaking up bar fights and taking stabbing/shooting reports. Graveyard was just that always a gang banger or two dropped off to die on the hospital doorstep.

39.9 cents a gallon in Toronto before we went metric in the late 70s.

When I was a teenager in the 1980s, I remember gas @ around 79 cents. The cheapest gas in recent years I bought was 95 cents in Texas just before Covid. When I moved from Texas to Nevada, in March 2020, gas in Texas was $1.29. A week later when I arrived in Vegas it was exactly one dollar more @ $2.29. When Bozo took office it went up to $2.89 and rising...

I remember 18.9 cents per gallon back in the early to mid sixties.  I also remember lots of "gas war" signs.  My dad would pull into the station with his '49 Chevy Deluxe and and say to the attendant "fill 'er up with regular, everything else is OK".  The latter was thrown in so as to keep the attendant from opening the hood and checking the oil, etc.  He did all of his own car work and didn't want anyone to screw around with anything.  Window washing wasn't necessary either!

Brett:
Sorry, but my knowledge of Baldwin Park is minimal.  I lived in Culver City, and didn't get out your way.

Didn't know that stat about the criminals.  I'd bet somewhere in the lovely Inland Empire owns that title today.

One summer back in 1970 or 71 in Chattanooga where I was working there were 2 areas that took week about having gas wars and I filled up once for 10 cents per gallon.  The next day the prices were back to mid 20's.

19.9 1965-67? Michigan

19 cents a gallon in Perry, FL, which always had some sort of gas war going on.  This would have been early '60's.  When I was in school in Florida in early 70's, price for Amoco Premium shot up to 50 cents or so per gallon and I could no longer afford to make the 40 or 50 mile trip from Tampa to Sarasota on the weekends.
