6 years ago it was 1.98 at the gas station just up the street which was always a few cents higher than the large chains. Then again 14 years ago at the same gas station I was able to walk up there with 2 dollars and get a liter dr.pepper, a candy bar, and some double bubble bubble gum. Now the 24 oz. dr. pepper is 1.39 or something like that.
