When I was in high school I was paying 13.9 cents/gal. for premium.
It only rose to 26.9 until 1974.

I remember my mother storming out of an Chevron station exclaiming that she’d never pay 32 cents a gallon.

I started driving in 1976. Many a time had to raid the ashtray of quarters to buy gas. Made it from Duluth to Minneapolis a few times on that loose change. And even younger, riding my bike down to the gas station to fill up a 2.5 gallon can for the go-cart or fishing boat was well within the range of a 10-year old with a lemonade stand.

I remember $.13/9 gasoline.
My ‘66 Chevy 396/425 motor got eight miles to the gallon.
No worries...
