Okay, I'm feeling much better about prices here in good ol' KY. I filled up with 93 Octane this afternoon for 1.74.9 per gallon (Where in the hell do they come up with the "point nine" why don't they just call it 1.75 and have done with it?)
As for the economists in the group, I "supplemented" my meager radio salary with a stint at my Uncle's service station after I graduated High School. Started on July 5th 1973. Price per Gallon of Premium was 0.29.9 (and that was a CHEVRON station, eddycat). I used to fill up my '64 Ford Fairlane with "the good stuff" 'til it went up to 0.39.9 -- that ten cents more on the gallon just killed me.
