Apparently the price of gasoline went to $1.00
sometime around June of 1979. One of the major car dealers in Minot at the
time, Fisher Motors, ran an ad to “Relieve Your Gas Pains”. He was quoted as
saying $1.00 gas is not the end of the road. He claimed the luxury cars that
his dealership sold all made 18 miles to the gallon or higher. Fisher Motors
also held a mileage seminar every hour on the hour in mid June to show
customers how to get the maximum mileage possible. On a side note, I had a 1976
Chrysler New Yorker with a big block motor and I would get over 20 miles per
gallon on the highway.

Of course, gas used to cost much less than now. Volumes have increased, consumers too. Now it has become more expensive and not everyone can afford it. But the choice of vehicles allows you to choose by characteristics or at an affordable price. If you buy a car that was used before, it will be even cheaper. The main thing is not to forget to check the vin code of the car https://www.faxvin.com/vin-decoder/yamaha. To would not discover that a vehicle was stolen.
