Don’t recall the price, but I remember watching the little spinning thing in the glass pass-through as the gas moved through the pump. (From the back seat of my fathers station wagon.)

I remember watching the little spinning thing in the glass pass-through as the gas moved through the pump.

I remember a small town station as a kid in Georgia that had the big glass cylinder, like a giant Pyrex measuring cup. The attendant would hand crank gasoline to fill up the cylinder to the requested amount, then it would drain through the hose & nozzle into your tank.

I definitely remember buying $0.17/gal gas. I have a hazy memory of seeing $0.11 during a Gas War, but would not swear to the accuracy of that memory.
