When I was a kid gas was in the 27 to 32 cent range, and when they were having gas wars it would go down to 21.9. In Springfield some places would have 19.9!
Now THOSE were the days! I'd go around and pick up pop bottles out of the road ditch all the time. (recycling!
) The 'real' glass bottles would bring 2 cents at first, then 3.
During the gas wars, I could carry 3 bottles down to the gas station on my mini-bike, trade in the bottles for 6 cents, put 5 in the gas tank of the mini-bike, and buy a penny bubble gum with the leftover cent. I was good for the day!!!
