Until I bought my Accord, the furthest that I ever went on a tank was 60.2 miles in my first car, a 1987 Honda Prelude Si.

I ran out of gas on the highway and coasted into the station.

I drove that car 75,000 miles in 4 years and that was the only time that I broke 40 MPG.

Where were you guys back then?!

I have had four 40+ MPG tanks in my Accord in 42,230.8 miles, so I expect 3 more 40+ MPG tanks before I hit 75,000 miles.

There is one gas station in the Phoenix area with gas for $1.659.

I am unsure that I have ever seen gas cheaper in the valley than Show Low. Millions of people live in the area and there are only ten stations cheaper than $1.899, which is the cheapest gas anywhere near where I usually go.

24¢ cheaper in the city that shouldn't exist, a monument to man's arrogance.

The average is $2.249, though. It fell 41¢ in the last month, 80¢ in 5 months, and almost $1 since 5/6.

It hit $3.93 around Xistday, 2012.

What was that in 2020 dollars?
