We pay that much per gallon, just in taxes, here in California.

What I paid today. My car takes premium. 21 gallons. It was over $130 to fill up. It would take a liberal working 9 years to be afford to be able to fill up.

"It would take a liberal working 9 years to be afford to be able to fill up"

You think liberals get paid less per hour than conservatives? That would be illegal.

It's time to follow all us other California ex-pats and move to a red state that still believes in freedom.

Or come to Colorado and help us political prisoners turn it back to Red from it's current blueness.

Colorado is too awesome for it to be blue. It needs to be red. But than any state would be much better if it was red. California would be a great place to live again if it was red.

Better for whom?

In 1988 when the movie was released, gas prices averaged $.90 per gallon. It's possible that in some places gas was only $.74, but I doubt it was in LA where the movie takes place.

Maybe Nakatomi owned the station.

Google "gas prices in die hard" you'll see the image that I used. Several of them. I'm too lazy to make this shit up.

Filming took place November 87 - March 88. From the LA Almanac (http://www.laalmanac.com/energy/en12.php), the lowest price during that period was 84 cents, not far off of the 74 cents depicted. As you said, it's possible. These are monthly averages, too, btw, so who knows how it fluctuated week to week or day to day.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to suggest that you made it up! It's just hard to bekieve that prices were ever that low in Commiefornia!

No worries! That was kind of the point of the meme, glad you enjoyed it.

I like your user name, btw, makes me laugh every time I see it.

I'm old enough to remember gas at 50 cent per gallon. I used to fill up my tank for around $10.00. My parents remembered when it was much less.

Euros per liter? ; 0
