So what would that sign look like today?
ReplyDeleteI actually remember my parents going to a local gas station and the owner would come out to pump the gas and clean the windows/check the oil...and gas was 29.9 cents a gallon. Wow, those were the good ole days for sure.Now Obammie wants us to pay through the nose for gas (almost $4.00 a gallon in some places). I doubt he ever has to pay at the pumps so why would he care?
ReplyDeleteVery interesting breakdown. I wonder how much the state's & "me's" piece of the pie is these days, compared to when it was approximately 25% & 20% respectively 56 years ago.
ReplyDeletei remember buying gas on fridays @ 5 gals. for $1.00. wow, how far we've come.
ReplyDeleteThat $0.205 in 1956 would be $1.70 today. Interesting.

ReplyDeleteMe too. And we had those gas hogs with v-8's and four barrels.
And I just loved the sound of a four barrel kicking in. Still do although don't have one now.
I remember you could get a pack of cigs for 35 cents too. Everything was cheaper back then. Including wages.
And people had a WHOLE lot of more respect for others and THEMSELVES back then.
But we have progressed and evolved so far. Everything is new and improved.
The only thing that hasn't changed is God.
But our love and respect for Him has declined as well. Hence, some of our predicaments today.
Peace and love man.
You could buy a nice car for 50 dollars also.

ReplyDeleteHeck, you could buy a brand new one for what, 2,500 - 3,000?
Notice the sign is painted. Not too easy to change prices every day or sometimes two times a day.
ReplyDeleteWhen I started driving at age 16, 8/74 the price of gas was $0.39 per gallon.

You're welcome. Thanks for picking up on that.
This is the big joke to me about Delaware’s “Tax Free” bull crap, if they really were “Tax Free”, than gasoline would be a whole lot cheaper across the line, but no, it is the same price as here or higher sometimes. Delaware’s state tax on gas is .23 cents a gallon, Maryland’s is .23 ½ cents per. Now if the governor gets his way we will pay an additional nickel per gallon, will Delaware gas be cheaper then? I really doubt it, profit is profit, and being in business is about making money.
ReplyDeleteWhat really needs to be done is regulations put on it. Gas is essential to our way of life, just like electricity and heat; cap what they can charge us for essentials. Heating fuels and electric are controlled to keep the price affordable, $5.00 a gallon gas will throw this country into a depression!
SALES TAX.
