I was 17 in 98 and distinctly remember gas dropping to below $0.70 a gallon. I had a Ford F-150 with (2) 15gallon tanks that I could fill up for $20 or so. We did a lot of riding, I remember being pinched when it hit $2gallon.

I agree that the tax is a major problem but also the source of the oil, we need new places to get the oil and alternative fuel. How cool would it be to have Natural Gas cars that you could fill up off your house! I know I am just wishing but maybe one day...
