72 VW SuperBeetle. I seem to recall 85 cents / gallon.

My second vehicle was a 1972 Ford F250 2X4.

I was earning about $2.00 / Hour in an off-the-books deckhand job. So a gallon of gas cost me about 25 minutes of work.

Now, a gallon of gas at $4 costs me a couple of minutes of work....

:-)

1954 Morris Minor, purchaesd in 1964. Petrol was 3/6 a gallon (that's a real gallon, not the little US version)
