The lowest I ever paid was around 2.00 for diesel. My grandfather has told me a number of times that when he was a kid in the 20's/30's that gas was about 7 cents a gallon. But that price was at the station in town, if you drove a few miles down to the harbor docks it was 4 cents a gallon. As ridiculous as it was, he's said my great grandfather wouldn't buy it from the docks because he said the reason it was cheaper was because they put water in it.:laughing:

When I was growing up in the fifties and sixties, the word was, if the gas is a lot cheaper, they are watering it down. Of course that was not true, however, it was widely believed to be true at the time. Ken Sweet
