Re: How much was a gallon of gas when...
.33 per gal in '69 when I was pumping it and starting to pay attention...
Folks would come in and get a dollars worth for a Saturday nite.
Some jokers would get a gallon and try to drain the hose!

Holy $hit, you (aka disciple) were driving 26 years before I was.
I do remember my dad bitching about the price of gas going from 22 to 29 cents a gallon in the early 1960s.

Re: How much was a gallon of gas when...
From what I can tell online it looks like it was $1.20 when I started driving but I do remember the gas thing in the 70's with the long lines and all, I just wasn't driving.
