I’ll get off your lawn. But I do remember when gas first hit $1.00 a gallon. The pumps only went up to 99 cents. They started selling by 1/2 gallon until they could fix/recalibrate the pumps.

But do you remember the last time it was under $1 per gallon?

When I was working my night job at a gas station back when I was in college, the price kept bouncing between $0.98 and $1.01 almost every day for weeks. I had to change the plastic gears in each pump whenever the dollar price boundary was crossed, because there were no provisions in those mechanical fuel pumps to change the dollar setting with the price per gallon levers.....

Interesting difference in spreads NY vs NJ. The Shell from yesterday was in NY. Exxon in central NJ just now -
Regular $3.50 Plus $4.49 Super $4.59 So only 10 cent spread between Plus and Super but $1.00 between Regular and Plus

Don't tell anyone, but "plus" is nothing more than a profit center, playing to people's guilt about buying regular and their thrift from not buying super!
I will let you do the octane cost math on the above prices, when the typical offerings are 87, 89, and 93 in your area.....

It's worth noting that a single March, 1999 dollar is equivalent to $1.86 in November, 2023 dollars: https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm.
