In the early to mid 60's around Kansan City, nominally gas was 29.9.
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.

The station was close to our home run by Hudson and the price was $0.26 a gallon. Almost 4 gallons for a buck rather than the other way round!

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.
