$.29....when I started driving in 1966. I remember going to college as a freshmen and getting $.35 worth of gas, which was all the money I had.
Likewise, during my freshman year in college (in Peoria) the local gas stations had price wars and they were charging 29¢ for a long time.
One of the guys in the dorm had a car and we'd pile five guys in it, chip in 25¢ each and cruise the main drag all night long.
Those days are long gone, obviously. Now I try to hold my driving down to bare necessary trips (although the price here continues to drop - lowest price I've seen is $3.05).
