When I started driving in the late 1950's a gallon of the Lowest Octane Leaded (Reg.) gas was 20-cents.
My Dad's annual income then was $5000......and, this income was considered an average "comfortable"
amount, nationwide.

Now....50 years since, a so-called "average comfortable" income is about $50,000....so, $2.00/gallon gas
is reasonable.

But, $3.00/gallon is a little higher than the 10 x factor in the scale of living that we have seen these past
50 years.

<<<At the Cumberland Farms in Manahawkin, NJ (south) - $2.71/gallon>>>

Kevin, you just freaked me out!!!!!!!!!!! I know that place! It was the first gas station my father would fill up at on a return trip from LBI (I recall a few choice mumblings about the gas price on the island). Of course that was 35-40 years ago. Good to know it's still there.

Oh, I ride my bike to work, so I haven't fill up in a few months, but I think the basic 2.80-3.00 is here in Savannah, GA (higher out at Tybee, those %$#*&^ price gougers )

That's why I know it. It's very strategically located - last gas station heading west on Route 72 off the island before the northbound and southbound entrances to the Garden State Parkway and lots of folks take advantage.

I assume your father wasn't driving back to Georgia! To where were you returning?

Kevin,
Grew up in just north of Trenton, NJ (not quite Princeton).
Never needed the Garden State Parkway, good ol' route 539 was the only way to go !!!!!!!!!

Regular (87 octane) was $3.019 in Temecula, California. The problem is that California gas has smog reducing treatment. The air in Southern California has really improved in the last 15 years, but I never use 87 octane because my pickup barely runs on 87 octane and my car runs better (although will function on 87 octane) on 91 octane too.

Every time I drive up to Oregon and fill my tank for the first time, I think there is something wrong with my car/truck and then I realize the change in power due to the different gas.
