Premium leaded gasoline sold for $.21/gallon. Regular leaded gas was $.19.

Don't forget the lovely plastic salad bowls you got with a tank full!

Yes. Plastic place mats, dishes and steak knives.
I recall stopping by the Shell station for a fill prior to picking up my date while in college in Iowa City, 1969. We were going to see Captain Beefhart and his Magic Band and the seating was "festival" (read sit on the floor.)
I had a blue Navy pea-coat with one inside pocket, which I removed for us to sit on. As I spread the coat, the steak knife I got at the Shell station flipped out on the floor. Folks around us gave us plenty of room after that.

The kids in the family licked them and pasted them in books so Mom could get household things for free with them.
