Lynn and Bill,
I googled it, which I should have done initially and some sites stated it had been around for about 30 years. I guess they didn't really need it then. I tell my Son, back in 1967 I remember getting fuel for 5 cents a liter or 20 cents a gallon - he can't believe it. I guess that's 40 years ago, but you know what I mean. Does anyone remember what it cost in the US in 1967.
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 ...
