I'd think, how do I get to America? I don't remember taking a plane (or boat).

I'd think I was dreaming of something that happened in the 1960's. I'd expect my old bike with the clothespin holding on the baseball card to make a cool sound would be next to me again any second. lol

I'd be wondering where the 10 mile traffic jam was and figuring either something was wrong with the price or I was sleep walking er driving.

I wouldn't want anyone to be fired though but price would be tempting.

Another possibility, if the owner is present, is to ask the owner if that is a mistake.

Just to show how much gas has gone up-----------
I remember when 25 cents would seem like highway robbery.
17-19 cents was the norm. I once bought gas for 12 cents a gal in Oklahoma.
WOW , I must be getting old.

Cars now-a-days cost so much and get totaled,easily..seems like gasoline would not be so costly to run them.

That's a possibility but I don't think that it will drop all the way to a quarter a gallon.

No, they will RUN OUT first.
Any of you folks remember gas lines, 10 gal limits, and only being allowed to purchase gas every other day?
Those were some fun times.
:mad:

I'd think it was an old sign still left hanging on a closed gas station if there wasn't a line a mile long at the pump.

I bought a new Ford pick up in 1964 for $1738.
The one I bought in 2008 cost $24,000
I thought about a new one the other day untill I saw that $46,000 price tag.
How do people pay such prices?

On the 2008, yes. And it replace a 1996 that had 279,000 miles on it.
The 2008 only has 121,000, so I am sure it will last the rest of my life.
The 2016 was pretty, so I stoped to look.
When I saw the price on the 2016, $46,000, my wife helped me back to my feet and drove me home.

Probably the best thing to do is inquire of the person on duty if a mistake has been made. The person on duty might want to know that he/she is selling gas for only 25 cents a gallon. If the person on duty insists it's not a mistake, and I need gas, I might buy it. That's a pretty good answer, isn't it?
