I was pumping "regular" for ~$0.26 per gallon then.  "100 Octane" (about 
93 by today's standards) was $.0.30.

Keep in mind, that at that time, rent for three bedroom home was ~$55 
per month, not the $1100 it is now, in the outer   reaches of the 
greater Phoenix area.  A pound of ground round - what? 12% fat? - was 
$0.39.  A brand new Colt m1911 was 125.00, as opposed to the ~$800 it is 
now.  A half gallon of milk?   Well, you know where this goes ...
