No. Probably late 60's, early 70's. I remember 25 cents, and I was being driven to and from swim practice around then and staring out the window of the car. |

19.9 cents a gallon and they checked your air, water and oil level, cleaned your front and back windshields, gave you a bar of soap, a glass and trading stamps.

$0.65 or so when I bought my first car. I remember when it broke $1 for the first time since the 70's oil embargo and I had to street race my car to get $20 for gas. I'd go to the drag strip with nothing but vapors and a $20 bill and pick my first race carefully.

Well for me It was .20.1
That was a off brand station that got their gas for tne bottom of everyones tanks. In my Ford 1969 Falcon with a 200 ci inline 6 the stuff was great in town. hit a hill and the engine pinged like hell. thats when you stopped at the nearest station and got the "high" octane at .22.9 per gal . The damn car got 32 mpg on the cheep stuff. |

I remember that a coke was $.15, gas was about $.23/gal, movies were $3.50, and a new Corvette was $6,000 (which seemed like $48k looks today
).Dad, before he died, used to tell me that he'd take a quarter out of his savings and see a movie, get a hot dog, and a Coke. On the same quarter! This is perhaps 1943 or so. Ain't inflation a bitch?
