Back in January 2022, I broke the news that Toot'n Totum is coming to Lubbock. Now we know a lot more and even have pictures below of how the first one looks in Lubbock.

The Amarillo-based gas station chain has been serving the Texas Panhandle since 1950 with more than 90 locations providing guests with good fuel, great food, fresh fountain drinks, a Mr. Payroll, car washes, Car Care Centers & more.

They offer things like fuel islands, ready-to-eat foods, grocery items and fountain areas. Many locations also include an array of services including the Texas Lottery, Western Union, Mr. Payroll Check Cashing, gift cards, car washes, and car care and lube centers.

Trade Publication Convenience Store News reported that Amarillo’s Toot’n Totum is planning to build 20 stores in Lubbock once it is all said in done.

Toot'n Totum first made the announcement on its website.

"Our sites are set and we're ready to roll into the biggest city in West Texas. Check back for details on locations and progress. We'll be just around the corner before you know it!"

From all their posts on social media, they do seem very active with the community and are always offering some kind of deal, which is a great thing for deal seekers.

I am very excited for these to be in Lubbock since they are West Texas strong. The inside all looked amazing. They have Dr. Pepper chillers and they had me sold. I am so excited for more to open up and be here in Lubbock. You defintely should check them out. The staff was super nice as well.

You can find out all the details on their official website. Toot'n Totum's first location is now open at 7303 82nd Street in Lubbock, TX 79424 which is their 134th store.

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
