i think it might have been around 1.79 a gallon in vassar.... which would have made it 1.89 in millington... lol.



"In 1970 the average new car cost around 3,542 dollars, and a gallon of gas went for 36. cents" ==hmmm

im actually in english class writing a essay about car prices right now.

"Some of the new innovations and safety features found in cars from the 1970's

Four Wheel Drive 1970's

Airbags 1970's

IM 26 AND I REMEMBER PULLING MY 86 CUTLASS IN TO THE GAS STATION 10 YEARS AGO AND DUMPING 5 BUCKS IN AND GETTING A 1/2 TANK. COULDNT PUT MORE IN THAN THAT, TANK LEAKED. BUT WHAT IS REAL INTERESTING IS WORKING MY JOB RUNING MY 97 DODGE FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS BACK AND FORTH TO WORK HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY. WENT FROM $50 AWEEK TO $60 A WEEK TO $75-80 AWEEK. GOT MY 04 ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND IT GETS THE THE  SAME MPGS AS MY 97 AND NOW COST ME $115 TO FILL. BOTH HAD 26 GALLON TANKS AND BOTH GET AROUND 12.9MPGS. AND WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME HOW CAN YOU AFFORD IT I JUST SMILE AND SAY "ASLONG AS IVE GOT POWER I KNOW IM GETTING THE USE OUT OF IT, AND I MAKE REAL GOOD MONEY" THEN I GET IN THE TRUCK AND PULL AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION I START TO CRY,MIGHT EVEN PISS MYSELF A LITTLE.BIG JUMP FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS.
