what was the price of gas back in 1999?

[laura888]

To really figure out how far my dollar will go now, compared to 1999, I'm trying to figure out how much a gallon of gas was in 1999.

thanks for any info!

1. I think it was around $1.00

Hard to believe that was only 4 years ago.. It seems like a different lifetime.

8. I remember paying 81 cents in PA in the Winter of '99.

It was around the time I bought my first car. The local Sheetz was involved a price war with the other stations, so gas was super cheap (not to mention gas prices nationwide were cheap). I filled up my tank (which was 18 gallons) on about $13. Those were the days...

9. Gas Prices

I remember in and around Austin it was in the mid $1.30's. Then, as 2000 was ushered in, it started to increase slightly for awhile. I had to commute out of town for my job for the last half of '99 and the first half of '00, so I definitely remember watching it. It seemed to stick around $1.34----1.36 for a long while, then it started to steadily increase.
