Sorry, man. Your memory is a mile off. I'm curious about why you think that 1969 gas prices have to do with a movie made in the 80s?.77/gal?
That's kinda high.
1969-1970 Santa Rosa, California.
Gas was .25/gal for name brands
and independents sold gas as low
as .18/gal.
I remember my dad filling up his
'59 Olds for around $5.00.
All of them...More importantly ....
1. Anyone ever counted how many rounds Arnold Schwarzenegger fires off from each weapon in any of his movies?
All of them...2. Anyone got an accurate count as to how many gears Steve McQueen's Mustang had in the movie Bullitt?
Don't be hatin' on the Duke boys....3. Did anyone notice that sometimes the Dukes of Hazzard good ole boys drove different model Chargers?

Die Hard was released in 1988. Gas prices were 96 cents on average so there isn't much chance of it being 25% of that price anywhere, especially in California.
I remember the S&H green stamps, Blue1971, I remember 25c a gallon gas and 2 qt. size Pepsi bottles for free on fill-up. Other stations had green stamps. I did not particularly think 25c was cheap, but I love Pepsi cola. I drove a '71 Fury II for the company and my wife drove a '70 corolla. $3 to fill up Toyota which we were getting 40+ mpg on the HI way.
We didn't have any kids yet, so both of us worked 40-hour weeks for a combined weekly income of $260 a week. We felt like we really had it made back then, a year later we had our 1st kid and all that changed. A year after that, '73, was the 1st oil embargo and that started the game changer.
Hardly....I only brought this up as the OP
seemed to be really surprised with gas
@ .77/gal.
Well, the vid seems to barrel it's mainHardly....
I posted because "Humor"....
I fail to see what your 1969-1970 Santa Rosa, California fuel prices have to do with a movie that was released in 1988....
Somehow you & Ray are attaching an early 70's time frame to this... That's not the case... 1988....
Your point of the post was understood.Never Mind....
I'm sure my 'ol man's Olds was up thereView attachment 1552419
Sure.
How about this:
Question:
I have a 1988 Dodge truck with a 360. The compression ratio is 8.2 to one. Does anyone know what the best gasoline is to use?
Strange and unrelated answer:
Your compression ratio is too low. My 1969 Dodge truck is rated at 10.5 to one.
