I don't remember when it went to $1.00, but I do remember when I got gas price
shock. It was the year of the White Salmon, WA, convention. I was still living
in Houston where, at the time, Tenneco gas was $0.29/gal. I could fill my Chevy
Suburban for less than $5.00 if I didn't wait until it was totally empty.
A friend of mine who wanted to go to Portland split gas and food costs for the
trip and we camped in the back of the Chevy along the way. By the time we got
to Salt Lake City and on into Oregon and Washington, gas was (if I remember
correctly) more than $0.40/gal. I remember thinking that if ever got that
expensive in Texas, I'd quit driving!!!
Now I wish I could find it that cheap. I think Costco was around $3.67
