Yesterday when I heard about the gas wars in Michigan it brought back pleasant memories of my early driving years when during a gas war the prices would go as low as .19 per gallon. It was common to pull into a gas station and only get $1 worth of gas which was enough to cruise on for most of the day and still have enough to get home later on. It was standard procedure for the station's attendants to wash your windshield,check your oil, and the air pressure of your tires all to insure you would patronize their station in the future. Some girls would flirt with the younger attendants in hope of distracting them so they would get more gas than they had asked for,then the unfortunate attendant had to pay for his mistake. At .47 cents per gallon it would almost be worth a road trip just to get a cheap tank of gas again! There is talk now of the prices going down all over but I'm not holding my breath waiting for that to happen.
