In Niagara Falls Ontario we are at 91.2 for regular and 1.19 for diesel. ( Liters )
In Niagara Falls NY we are at 2.80 for regular and 3.50 for diesel ( US$/G )

Diesel hasn't moved much in the past few months, we've only seen a 4-6 cent drop in the price where as regular gas has dropped about 35 cents now.

Hoping it will stay low for a while.

WOW. I am a couple of hours from there. If it goes back down it would almost be worth the trip with a 36 gal. tank and a couple of cans. We are still $2.79 for diesel in Stephenville. I can't believe we are happy at this price. But then, I may be the only one on the forum who remembers buying gas for$0.18/ gallon when I was a teen. It was during a gas war in Longview, TX.

I remember my Dad going over to a station when I was kid and filling a 5 gal. can for $1

Diesel is all over the place down here in south Florida. From $2.85 to $3.85.

That is pretty close Lloyd. I said 18cents but we all know it was 18.9 cents and that would make it around 5 gal for a buck. But in all fairness, I think minimum wage was around a buck then too. That would have been in the early-mid 1960's.

I can remember driving into a gas station paying $2.00 and getting 5 gals. of gas...

**mark5w** · 01-07-2015, 08:55 PM

You can remember that far back??

Hate to admit it, but my memory is the same as Tommy's.

When I was a teen, the gas pumps back then only went as high as $9.99 and then started over at 0.00. If the attendant (yes all stations had attendants) wasn't paying attention to the gallon indicators you could get $15.00 worth of gas but the pump would only indicate $5.00. Of course you had to have a BIG gas tank for it to work!

In the Chicago in the 50"s and 60"s it was 24 cents for premium, When I arrived at Lawton Oklahoma they were having a gas war it was 16 cents a gallon for the good stuff.
I had a Texaco Service Station in the late 60's and early 70's when gas went up to 36 centa a gallon boy did people complain big time

Dayle1 · 01-08-2015, 06:35 AM

My first truck was a '71 with the factory 20 gal. tank behind the seat. I added dual 20 gal. saddle tanks that I frequently kept near empty. So, even in the early '70s, I loved filling up during price wars at $0.25.

geondebi · 01-08-2015, 08:16 AM

Yep dating ourselves is fun sometime. Remember filling my VW (10 gal) for 2.50, smokes were .25 out of a machine, and working for .75 and hour. Oh yes camping was in a tent. I guess times have changed for all.

Bert · 01-08-2015, 04:30 PM

I just looked at my Good Sam trip planner. It adjusted the fuel cost to $3.14 a gallon. That knocked $300.00 off my summer trip fuel costs.

Tim D · 01-08-2015, 07:42 PM

Seems to me gas was around 60 - 65 cents a gallon when I started driving. You guys are old.

They're building a Buc-ee's in Temple, TX. That would be much closer to you than SA. It's supposed to be completed sometime this spring. Keep an eye out for it and the low prices.
