Shell Canada Offers 1984 Prices At Alberta Gas Stations (TWEETS)

Remember when the price of gas was actually affordable?

LOL. Neither do we.

But Shell Canada tried to jog our memories this morning, when they dropped gas prices at to a mere 39.9 cents a litre — or the approximate price of gas in Alberta in 1984.

Lately, it's cost about $1.19 a litre to fill up in the country's oil and gas province.

Drivers in Fort Saskatchewan, Edmonton and Calgary were surprised to find they could fill their tanks for a fraction of what it usually costs.

The promotion was held to celebrate the company's 30th anniversary of refining in Alberta.

Eight stations across the province will feature the rolled-back prices, for approximately an hour at a time.

Plenty of drivers were so stoked with their cheap fill-ups, they took to Twitter to brag:

Thanks @Shell_Canada for sharing with us your celebration! 30 years of refining in Alberta! #1984Pricing 53L for $21! pic.twitter.com/VZCFPIKbPH
