You can’t fool me! i know what you are driving and when you are filling up! 1985!

What is this “87”? I've never heard of it.

I remember prices like this when I just learned to drive, in 1990.

Wow. Last I paid was 1.72.

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest. > macanamera 11/03/2015 at 20:25

Many non-over-engineered cars run on it.

$5 worth of gas and you were cruising the town all night.

Guns, God, and (cheap) Gas, amirite?

And that's still cheap.

In my budies tercel, yes, in my Buick Electra that would just get us to town at 12 mpg. But $20 fill ups don’t suck.

It did NOT take $5 worth of gas in the 80’s to find hookers!!

$4 for a full tank. B)

We would throw $5 of gas in a friend’s Chevy truck and cruise all night. Although, in small town southeast Texas, there wasn't a lot of places to go (that had chicks, because, let's face it, that was the primary reason to cruise).

It’s 85 octane here. Liquid dynamite.

It is quite impressive, ain't it?

What was 93 octane? If that was under the $2.60 i paid two nights ago ill be blown away

Still took $21 to fill the wife’s Expedition.

87 octane as jet fuel confirmed.

What's the highest you've ever paid?

DasWauto > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com 11/03/2015 at 21:22

Probably about $1.30/l CAD which would would have been when the dollars were at or close to parity. Worked out to a bit over $5/gal at the time I guess.

PatBateman > Supreme Chancellor and Glorious Leader SaveTheIntegras 11/03/2015 at 21:25

With the discount, $1.40.

I always used to love buying that stuff at the last place you could get it when going back down to the ocean when driving rental cars. Vroooom! It didn’t know what hit it.

They also peaked in the mid-90s and dropped near the end. Back in the late 90s I remember one particularly-extraordinary fill up in the middle of nowhere in flyover country at, I believe, 69 cents a gallon. The lowest I’ve ever seen... Very close to some I remember from the 80s when I was a small child.

I wish my prices were that low... Heading into the winter months, too, where my gas mileage apparently goes directly to crap.

Still, $2.49 for regular and $2.79 or so for premium isn’t too bad. Better than the over $3 prices in the summer.

Paid $0.749/gal Saturday night with the local grocery store discounts at Shell. Filled the tank for $9.81.

Oh, also, if you like the idea of swimming at Thanksgiving, wearing shorts during Christmas, low cost of living, and low unemployment, Houston might be for you.

Yup. I was happy to pay just over $2/gal when I was in New York a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, ours is cheap as hell right now, but the refineries are only about 100 miles away.

With the oil Canada has it’s pretty ridiculous that little to none of it is actually refined here.

My region anxiously awaits the Keystone XL pipeline’s approval and all that Canadian Crude.

DasWauto > PatBateman 11/03/2015 at 21:59

Yeah, we’ll see if that ever happens. There’s a silly amount of opposition and while it would be a good trade deal, IMO Canada would do well to process more here.

I have heard of guys actually “picking up chicks” while cruising in their shit buckets but have never actually experienced it. Now I’m old and married with children so I don’t get to cruise, because it would be more like creeping.

What are you talking about?

PatBateman > Highlander-Datsuns are Forever 11/04/2015 at 07:41

I am also old, married, and have children. It’s not that you’re driving around talking to girls out the window, but you cruise, find out where more people will be, and go there (to find girls).

Today, this is called social media.

How the hell is this even possible? If I pay 99 cents per litre I'm getting a good deal.

Oh, you didn’t know that we Texans apply a surcharge to non-Texans for fuel that was refined here in the Lone Star State?

You guys have everything: oil, cheap gas, guns, COTA, races from WEC, MotoGP and F1, world-class barbeque, tex-mex, Hank Hill, and warm weather. We get a F1 race in Montreal, no real barbeque, fewer guns, gas which is essentially equivalent to $4+/gallon and our oil is mixed with all sorts of sand and shit. Maybe I need to move to Texas.

We’re hiring!

The majority of people that move to Texas love it here. My in-laws moved from Chicago 25 years ago and wouldn’t dream of going back.

The minority that dislike Texas are nicely encouraged to move back to whatever hell hole they crawled out of.
