Interesting, thanks. I remember buying gas at 19.9 cents/gal during a gas war in the mid ‘60’s... and worked at a Clark Super 100 station.
I got gas for $0.13 9/10 during a gas war in the San Fernando Valley about 1954-55. Hard to believe time has passed by so fast!
I worked at a Gulf station after I got out of the service in the 80s.
Full service, and that meant washing windows, checking oil, transmission fluid, tires and what ever the person wanted checked.
It was a good job. Pay wasnt bad, got tips and free auto repair advice the the mechinics. Learned alot about cars and how to care for them. Plus in the summer, we got a peep show when the women came in for gas and washing the windows.
If the woman was good looking enough, she could have her window washed three times by three different gas pumpers.
I remember those days too. I can remember paying the same amount during a comparable gas war in 1964. Ah, now THOSE were the days.
