For this installment of the Claycord Online Museum, we go back to when gas was $1.92 a gallon for regular unleaded at the Safeway on Contra Costa Blvd. in Pleasant Hill.
Those were the days, when you could fill your tank up for well under $100.

From shopping at Safeway for just two I have gotten as much as 60 cents off the stated price per gallon.
I can still fill the tanks of both of my cars (neither of which are particularly small) for well under $100 … what kind of behemoth are you driving? Hilarious that all of the free-market, “land of the free” types are up in arms over the free market punishing their personal decision to buy a lifted V8 4×4 to commute in. Gub’ment shouldn’t provide healthcare, shelter, nutritious food … but muh gas better always be a buck a gallon no matter where on the supply curve we are!
You know damn well you’re lying. I drive an Altima and it’s $85 to fill up a 15 gallon tank. It’s not a big car. You must be filling up motorcycle tanks. “Well under $100 for 2 cars” my ass.
Looking for attention B ?
If you have 2 cars filled and each costed you $50, and gas in Claycord was about $5.50 per gallon, your tanks would hold 9 gallons each. That’s just as dumb as the other stuff you wrote. DUH!!!
-B- And did the free-market shut down Keystone pipeline? Did the free-market sanction Russian Petroleum?
Glad that you are able to own two cars, but not everyone can sandwich their family in a Prius. 20 gallons is a common size gas tank for a minivan. I’ll let you do the math on the fill-up cost.
Fill your two tanks, for your Vespa’s?
Just filled my 2015 Nissan Altima (17 gal tank) last week $95.07
2007 I’m guessing???
Yep.
If it was older, diesel would be 1/2 that of gasoline.
I bought a truck in 1999 and gas was $1.40 a gallon and I thought to myself….”Ah, I don’t think it’ll go much higher than that”…….PFFFTT!!!!!!!!
It’s Amazing to see how stupid democrats truly are oh this has nothing to do with political policies right when that pedo vegetable took office he basically shut down America’s energy sector for his climate alarmist communist idiot’s democrats are the dumbest useful idiot’s ever unreal!
+1
This ☝️💯💯💯💯
I think the real problem is that too many of them actually believe exactly what they are told by their chosen news source even in the face of obvious contradictions….CLEARLY the current administration’s policies have had an enormous effect on energy prices……
Pedo?
Concord Guy apparently hasn’t read Ashley Biden’s diary.
The diary of US President Joe Biden’s daughter Ashley, which has now been confirmed as authentic by the New York Times and the FBI, Ashley Biden describes drug abuse and affairs as well as “inappropriate” showers with her father Joe. She also asks herself the question “Have I been abused?” and replies with “I think so.”
Yeah, THAT pedo (sniff sniff)
Currently, at the Pleasant Hill Safeway the price for regular gas is:$5.61/gal for one paying Cash & the price for a person a Credit Card is $$5.714.gal, And the food prices, etc at this Safeway is REALLY high…so one will loose in BOTH on gas and/or food purchases !!!
Biden – I did that!
Yes, Biden did do that!
What’s ironic is it that the Claycord Online Museum- which I always enjoy – is usually about things really far in the past.
This posting is probably the most recent ever done! (History wise) and that stresses the point of how much gas is really gone up.
I mean I was only paying $2.79 a gallon a year and a half ago when Trump was still in office.
Joe Biden on his first day in office canceled the oil pipeline and oil leases and started having us buy oil from other countries. We were a net export of oil before just 2 years ago. He screwed that all up.
My guess is this snapshot is from April 2020, at the start of the lockdowns. Everyone was hunkered down in their homes and nobody was out driving.
The gas station on Contra Costa Blvd. was built sometime after 2011, for certain by 2012 according historicaerials data.
When the last president was in office I could find gas for less than $3.00 gallon. Look what it’s costing now. And, how it’s helping to cause the historical and crushing inflation. However, the liberal Democrats are happy, because they now have a president who says nice things to them.
2 to 3 years ago, gas was 2.50 a gallon?
What happened?
Oh that’s right.
Socialism.
This price was after the first big price jump from around 25 cents a gallon to about $1.50 CENTS a gallon when Jimmy Carter was in the office. During that time we had gas rationing meaning you could only buy gas every other day….their were fights as people tried to cut in lines.
I think Jimmy was a democrat too, wasn’t he?
Yes, Jimmy was a Democrat and the worst President in my lifetime. Fortunately, Reagan was elected and got the country on the right track and we won the biggest war we had ever been in without firing a shot. Then Obama lowered the bar and Carter became the second worst President. Then Trump was elected and got the country back on the right track. Now Biden has lowered the bar even farther. Lets hope we get a new President in 2024 to straighten things out. Notice a pattern here?????
Yes, Jimmy was a dem.
Thank Demented Joe for this. Elections have consequences. He fooled you all.
Well, we can thank the Democrats for 6 dollar gas. And the people of California will send them back for another 4/6 years.
You know the definition of insanity,
“To keep doing the same thing the same way and expecting a different result “
