Cheapest you paid for gas?

What is the cheapest you have ever paid for a gallon of gas?

The most?

Cheapest in the around 1979 was around 68 - 70 cents. That was my first car.

2 years ago paid just under $4/gallon.

Got my license in 1967

Reg.= 28.9 gal.
Premium= 32.9 gal.

In 1978 I remember getting in line at the gas station at 5AM just to get a chance to buy 10 gallons. (It was about .75 gal. for reg. during that so called oil crisis)

Remember the odd and even days? I used to go buy gas after midnight.

Here is a link to historical data from 1973 to present from the Department of Energy for those who can remember Here is some more detailed data from 1994 to 2010.

Cheapest I recall was $.89 per gallon during a brief fuel war between local stations some years ago, most was just under $4.00.
