I didn't catch that it was an antique thread until I got to the guy that said he was up to the $2.50's/gal in CA. Ah, good times, good times.

I don't know how old you are, but it has been under $1.00 here in northwest Indiana within the last 10 years.

69.9 cents at Arco is the lowest I can remember, either in the late 80's or early 90's, and that was a big drop from $1.15 or so from the mid 80's.

one of the best ways to moderate your driving is to install a vacuum gauge in the cab...lets you know when your putting the fuel in and when and how to save.

I have a 1988 5.0 with a c6 and 3.73's that will get 13mpg unloaded or 12mpg pulling a 16 foot ski boat. I am about to install a 5-speed, and am hoping for 15mpg or so.
