It was a big year for me.

BTW, the guy above who mentioned 88¢/gal gas ... that has to be wrong, considering it was 98¢/gal back in spring 1993.

Nope, he's right. In Missouri I even saw it as low as 64 cents per gallon, I believe that was in December of 98.
Damn, that makes me sound old...
Kinda like remembering when I used to buy comic books for a quarter.

Yeah, it was under a buck a gallon where I grew up, I remember filling my mom's car up for $12 when it was on E. I was making $6 an hour at a part time job and 2 hours of worked paid for a tank of gas. Go figure, 10 years later, 2 hours of work still pays for a tank of gas!
