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.

Before I had to quit driving and sell my car nearly 4 years ago, I
had wanted to build up $1 per gallon credit from shopping at Kroger's.
Then, when the gas was down to $1.15 a gallon, I would have gone to
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>

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 -
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"

a gas station where you are only supposed to get 2 gallons? sounds
like a made up story.

Maybe someday they will invent these mobile tankers that can fill the tanks
on a regular basis.

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.

While true for certain, as I was following former US 66, US 60, and US 6
for most of my time in CA, most of my experience with buying gas there was
not of the off-ramp variety. The gas at that AZ station was much cheaper
than anything I bought for the next several days.

One trick I figured out somewhere between Needles and LA was that Walmarts with gas pumps were often your friend... but still not as friendly as out
of the way stations in AZ.
