I remember the old Sunoco pumps with the selector on the side for about
6 different grades of gas.  I always wondered if there were _really_
that many different kinds there.

But the cheapest gas I remember was $0.259, when I was 5 or 6 years old! 
I filled up yesterday for $1.019, the cheapest it's been here (Eugene,
Oregon) in quite a while.  Only a month or two ago it was $1.199.
