19 cents with attendant who checked air, battery, tires, and cleaned windows for you
with free Blue Chip stamps
and
a free glass or plate for your dining room
(regular price was 22 cents, this was a ‘gas war’ sale)

I remember 19 cents a gallon, AND you got a free glass too! That would have been my high school years.

Lowest price as a driver was 21¢ a gallon during the periodic “gas wars” of the late 60s @ Newell’s Standard on HWY 436 across from the Prairie Lake Drive In.

You’re right, they were always giving out free stuff. Owning a gas station was not prestigious in the least.
