About $0.85/gal when I bought my E21 in May, 1979. That was just before the 1979-1980 oil shock, which is when prices broke through the $1 barrier. In the mid-late 80's gas was below $1 again in many places, but that was short-lived. Here are some interesting charts documenting prices paid by a person who has kept records of what he's paid going back 34 years: http://www.randomuseless.info/gasprice/gasprice.html
