... I got gas for under a dollar the other day...but it was from Taco Bell.
Your tagline is outdated. You can't get anything at Taco Bell
for under a dollar.
The same holds true everywhere else.
I still remember when gasoline was 25 cents a gallon. While growing up

I still remember when gasoline was 25 cents a gallon. While growing
up in south Florida, there were "Gas Wars" between nearby stations,
with the price between 35 and 40 cents a gallon. At the time, my father (who had been gone 19 years now) lamented "I don't know what we'll do
if it hits 40 cents a gallon!!".
What we wouldn't give for that nowadays!!
I remember 56.9 cents per gallon. Although, my car at the time
got 15 mpg... Yesterday, I filled up for $3.69 a gallon and got
51 mpg driving home.

the pump, applied the full discount, got it for 15 cents a gallon,
took a picture of that, and sent it out. It certainly would've gone
viral. <G>
in Big Sur, CA. It's probably 100 miles from the next gas station.
They have 1 or 2 pumps and price the gas astronomically
- they don't want people filling up there except in dire need, as
they don't have huge tanks - you're supposed to get a couple of
gallons to get you by if you need it.
I see pictures of $7.69 gas from there all the time on twitter
with a MAGA poster saying "THIS IS GAVIN NEWSOM'S AMERICA!!!!><@M"
Yeah, we have the other end. There is a gas station on the coast in Big
Sur, CA. It's probably 100 miles from the next gas station. They have 1
or 2 pumps and price the gas astronomically - they don't want people
filling up there except in dire need, as they don't have huge tanks -

Even in areas with lots of stations, in 2023, I found stopping for fuel
in CA to be quite a painful experience. Not $7.69 painful, but IIRC
there were a couple of stations just off I-40 in Needles that were
pushing towards $6/gallon. I didn't stop there, but went slighly out
of the way back into AZ (away from the Interstate) to fill up for half
as much.

Offramp gas is always more expensive because of the convenience
- people will pay more to gas up and get back on the road quickly.
