I am 25 years old. The first day I had my license aty 16 years old, i filled up my little ford ranger and paid $0.89 a gallon. Makes me just want to puke.

That same year I watched 3000 of my co-workers pack up their offices and walk out to their cars. They started drawing unemployment benefits. Crude oil was $10 per barrel and gasoline was below $1 per gallon. To see so many people lose their job made me want to puke but it didn't even make the news because those "big oil" people deserved it.
it sux big time! I am at a point where I can afford to build a toy but probably cant put gas in the dang thing. ( dang ) not a word I wanted to use but I'm trying to keep it clean.

I remember that time also. They were capping stripper wells all over the state because it cost more to pump it than it was worth. Drilling for new wells stopped, putting a bunch of people out of work and many businesses closed their doors. Texas took a big income hit.

$2.84 here, and dropping. Though of course, the local ripoff station is still $2.96. I remember when we would drive 15 miles to Garland to pay $.97 instead of $.99. *sigh* back in the good old days...
big drop here yesterday!! from 2.94 to 2.91 how the heck can it go up 20 and 30 cents a gallon at a time,and take MONTHS to come down 10 cents a gallon?
Yesterday ExxonMobil was the first to report their first quarter numbers. They reported a PROFIT of 4 BILLION dollars. In the first quarter!! Is anyone else furious about this??
My Dad has a picture hanging up of his first new truck. A 66 F-250. In the background you can see a gas station sign pumping regular (probably leaded) for 17 cents/gallon. When I get a chance I'll go over there and scan it and post it.
