     I was driving moving back to WV from CO in 1973.     
     I had been paying .25 for gas in CO and somewhere around Kansas, I think,   
   I saw a station with gas for like .43 cents a gallon.  I said "I will never   
   pay that much for gas" and kept on going till I saw one around .33 a gallon.   
      A few months later the first oil crisis hit and people were paying well   
   over 43 cents for gas, if they could find any.   
      I had a '65 Falcon at the time which got about 20 mpg or there about so   
   I only had to get gas a few times during that period.

     My last car (1980-87) had been my mothers, a '70 Chrysler Newport and had   
   to fight the wheel every time I passed a gas station, it kept wanting to   
   pull in on its own.  :)
