This is probably a brief moment, but I just passed on the way home tonight
a corner where two gas stations were having a price war! To the young and
uninitiated, this is something I haven't seen in 25 years or more. These
two stations were selling unleaded regular for $.84 a gallon!. Thats full
service here in New Jersey. Most stations this week are selling unleaded
regular at about $.97 (full service, cash or credit. )
If you figure inflation, that s like$.25 a gallon in pre 1970 dollars. How
long will it last!
