Some stations have the same price either way, and others cash is cheaper.

I filled up with non ethanol gas today in Nashville and got much better mileage but it was about .20 higher per gallon.

Gallon of gas was less than a buck in the 80's.

I use ethanol free gas in the Chevelle, if you want to know where to find it check this link out. Good for US and Canada. Even gives you the address and a GPS location if you are directionally challenged

I got my license in 1998, and gas was $0.97/gal. I remember spending $50 in gas one weekend cruising with my Dad's '68 Camaro, paying $1.04.9 for premium... did a lot of cruising, won some street races, met some girls, and got a speeding ticket. One of the most memorable weekends of my life.

When I was a kid .25 cents would buy a gallon of gas. When gas went to a $1 a gallon in the mid seventys everyone freaked out and the gas lines were long. Might have to wait an hour to get gas. Luckly it only last a few weeks. Gas was around .40 cents a gallon when I started to drive and by 1974 hit 60 cents a gallon people were thinking about selling their muscle cars. Times have changed.

I thought you were older than me for some reason, I got mine in 1995. Because I live near a tourist area, I remember paying $1.349 - $1.399 for premium back then. I used to put the timing back to the factory 10* in my 5 liter mustang during the week so I could run 89 mid grade for about $0.10 - $0.14 less per gallon. Then go fill up with 93 and yank the timing up to 15* on Friday night. Laughable, but it did make an almost .2 difference in ET from that small change.
