The price would be at that level for a week or two every few months when the gas "war" would kick in and prices would rapidly drop to 19.9. That's what I paid during my high school years. Sometimes a little less. Bob W.

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.
