I can remember paying 35 cents a gallon for gas. Could fill my V-8 Pontiac up for under $5.00. That’ll never happen again.

I haven’t been around quite that long. But I remember when I was about 14 or so, dad would give me 5 bucks and tell me to go to the store and put 5 bucks gas in his car. I would put in 4.50 in gas and buy a pack of smokes with the rest. That put the car up to about 3/4 tank... and I got my smokes

My 70 Corolla filled up for about $2.20 in 70.
