O/T..Allentown, PA gas is $1.90/gal..what's it near you ?
 
Posted By: <b>Pennsylvania Ted</b><p>When I started driving in the late 1950's a gallon of the Lowest Octane Leaded (Reg.) gas was 20-cents.<br />My Dad's annual income then was $5000......and, this income was considered an average "comfortable"<br /> amount, nationwide.<br /><br />Now....50 years since, a so-called "average comfortable" income is about $50,000....so, $2.00/gallon gas<br />is reasonable.<br /> <br />But, $3.00/gallon is a little higher than the 10 x factor in the scale of living that we have seen these past<br /> 50 years.<br /><br />TED Z <br />

Posted By: <b>S Gross</b><p>&lt;&lt;&lt;At the Cumberland Farms in Manahawkin, NJ (south) - $2.71/gallon&gt;&gt;&gt;<br /><br />Kevin, you just freaked me out!!!!!!!!!!! I know that place! It was the first gas station my father would fill up at on a return trip from LBI (I recall a few choice mumblings about the gas price on the island). Of course that was 35-40 years ago. Good to know it's still there.<br /><br />Oh, I ride my bike to work, so I haven't fill up in a few months, but I think the basic 2.80-3.00 is here in Savannah, GA (higher out at Tybee, those %$#*&^ price gougers <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>)

It was the first gas station my father would fill up at on a return trip from LBI &gt;&gt;<br /><br />That's why I know it. It's very strategically located - last gas station heading west on Route 72 off the island before the northbound and southbound entrances to the Garden State Parkway and lots of folks take advantage.<br /><br />I assume your father wasn't driving back to Georgia! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> To where were you returning?

Posted By: <b>Cat</b><p>Regular (87 octane) was $3.019 in Temecula, California. The problem is that California gas has smog reducing treatment. The air in Southern California has really improved in the last 15 years, but I never use 87 octane because my pickup barely runs on 87 octane and my car runs better (although will function on 87 octane) on 91 octane too.<br /><br />Every time I drive up to Oregon and fill my tank for the first time, I think there is something wrong with my car/truck and then I realize the change in power due to the different gas.
