For some reason, I remember the price of Ultra gasoline (I think I remember it being $1.45/gallon at its cheapest) than I do regular unleaded. Probably had to do with the fact that that was what the Bonneville took. Incidentally, it appears as though the numbers on that $1.62/gallon sign have been taken down, though the sign itself is still up.

I still laugh when I read my notes from my book, written in 2006: GAS $2.42 UNBELIEVABLE!! The cheapest I've seen gas in my lifetime was 82 cents a gallon in Virginia around 1997. In the northeast, there was a few pockets of 99 cents a gallon, but I always think about it being $1.29. When I was in high school, I regularly put in the amount of change I had in my car, so 85 cents of gas wasn't that unusual for me :) Hey– I responded to this a bit in my blog– I remember that gas station.
