Fuel prices are coming down.

[Maxtor]

Had all barrels on a rack, outside. Dad usta charge me'n my bro $1.00 for 5 gallons.. PAYED UP FRONT.. but the money went in the " Gas Kitty" for the next Gas War.

sly Was that where I learned how to Syphon.. Ummmm )


Ahhh the memories

Back in the day, fuel price was not an issue,, but battery prices were. I remember parking my 1948 Plymouth on hills, so I could push it to start.
I would hate to do that today,, those cars were made like a tank... Lots of heavy steel MADE IN THE USA.

Later on, I was horrified to pay $4 to put 20 gallons of gas in the tank of my 57 Buick.

I hope to meet up with you and Doug... so we can reminisce about the good old days. We are very lucky to have enjoyed those times. I feel bad for the young guys now who never got to live in the 40's and 50's. Things started to go down hill in the 60's.

Yep, Back In The Day.. I hear ya Max.

My ol' 53 Chevy got me around for alota (Girls Too) miles with a.. Might (Might Not) Start battery & 4 May Pop (Any Minute) tires.. Came in handy late in the evening with a Girl tho... If you know what I mean

Thank goodness the Portland area had alota Hills, and you could get a good Used tire for 2-3 bucks

Yep, the 60's started it. But I 'member my Dad saying (after WW 2) purdy much the same things we say. One day the younger guys of today.. will be say'n the same, I'd bet.

I can Hear it: Son.. I can remember git'n a gallon of Gas, or Diesel for 3 dollars & 50 cents, Back in the Good 'Ol Days...... This World is go'n in the Crapper

I wouldn't change a Minute of my life though. It's been absolutely Grand.

We'll halfta work out a Meet somewhere along the way. I'd like ta put a Face, to a Log In Name and Shake a Hand or two.

As I was telling Dave, it will have to be before late April, because we will be on the road going east in late April or early May.

Gasoline could drop 50 cents/gallon by spring | U.S. | Reuters

Fully understand Inflation and all that goes with that but.... $3.00+ is still.. Hard to Handle... for us "Seasoned" guyz. (Maxtor ? Wd ?)

I pumped gas for a LONG time a couple years either side of 1980... when I started, premuim gasoline was $.56/gallon

we didn't pump diesel, but I know it was considerably cheaper.

when I bought my SuperDuty, a scant 4 years ago, diesel was $1.35
