It was $1.59 and people were lined up at the pumps for miles because they thought gas prices were going up like they are now. But they didn't, it just spiked to $1.59 for a few days, then dropped back down to the $1.30's. Oh....the $1.30's, $1.50's, heck even the $2.00's were a decent price to pay compared to what we're looking at now.
