In Texas, 1972, there was a gas war in September. Gas price was 19 cents a gallon. I didn’t pay much attention before that.
50 cent a gallon
50 cent a pack for marlboro reds.
17.9c/gal mid 60s Houston.
Still had to tell the difference between red diesel and clear diesel between farming and driving.
Glad I didn’t farm! :)
12 cents a gallon, 1962 gas war.
As a driver, 14 cents a gallon 1964 gas war.
1961 in Wichita Falls Texas @ .19 during gas war.
Why? I thought boats (even then) could run on regular gasoline. White gas, as a rule, has an average octane rating of 56-60.
I paid 99 cents a gallon as recently as 2000, also in Missouri.
Most of my childhood, the price was around 30 cents. You could be low on gas, give them $1, and get around 3 gallons, enough to drive home at 10 mpg. Then give the car back to dad.
I remember my Dad would always say, in the late 50s early 60s, 10 gallons or a fill up whatever comes first, and he’d hand the kid 3 bucks.
24 cents
We hit a gas war in West Texas paid $0.11 a gallon, in the late 50’s
24.9 cents a gallon, regular. It happened in 1950s when there were gas “wars.” Usually the price was 49.9 cents a gallon.
There’s a U-Haul/Phillips 66 in Greenville, that still uses GB/V-R Trimline pumps. Went there (it’s a 70-mile drive from Dallas) to fill up on alcohol-free gas. Too bad it was closed on Sundays. They also have full service. In business since 1954, I think.

It was .15 cents per gallon at some discount stations in Delaware in the 50s. In the late ‘60s, there was a station in Southern Maryland that sold gas tickets in $20 books. Using the tickets, the price was .20 per gallon.
Carms Texaco, Robbins and Willard......64 65 there bouts
29.9 Plus S&H Greens Stamps.
$0.28 in the late sixties in Mass. I could fill up the first 5 cars I owned for $5 or less.
Looks like a cardboard lunar lander. Cut it out and fold it.
Does anyone remember when the gas stations would employ these planes that would draw out the name of the gas station, like “Esso,” in the sky?
