Yes in High school it was about a buck a gallon. You could still drive around all week for around 5 bucks and cruising the blvd wouldnt break your bank and the cops were less of pricks to the cruising game. We didnt have free porno on the internet back then though, still had to pay like 10 bucks for a porno mag or 20 for a VHS.

Yeah, cheapest I ever remember was a buck.

Gas I remember my dad driving across town to Arco because it was 87 cents a gallon instead of 96 cents a gallon at the place by our house.

He only drove to work and back and maybe a trip to the grocery store in between. My point was back then 5 bucks took you a long way even in a v8 powered tank lol
