My Grandpa who lived near Lyndon Washington in the early 1900s told me about two gas stations that had a price war between them. They both got down to 9 cents a gallon. One of them got so upset that he went out and turned his price sign upside down. Yep, 6 cents a gallon.

I can remember 18 cents, and it remained that price for quite some time, same thing happened with 25 cent gas when I was in high school.
There is so much oil we can never run out of it, the Earth has always and will continue to create oil.
The oil companies don't want you to know that little secret.
