I can remember it at 25.9 a gallon. Cigs were 29 cents a pack. Milk was 89 cents a gallon. On and on....

Taxes were a lot less then.

You heard right you whippersnapper. Saw it with my own eyes. Of course that was up in Yankee land where folks are a bit tetched, if you know what I mean.

Not only was the gas cheap but with a fill-up, which was considered to be seven gallons, you frequently got a free drinking glass. My mother still talks about the matching set of glasses dad collected, each with the logo of the Philadelphia Phillies.
