“In the 1960s Gasoline varied from 18.9 to 21.9 cents per gallon, unless there was a gas war going on. They pumped your gas, checked your oil and everything else under the hood, checked the tire pressures and you never got out of your car.

And they scrubbed and washed your windshield. “

And gave you promotional goodies like drink glasses and dishes.

True - that slipped my mind.

And some gave Blue Stamps or S & H Green Stamps redeemable for all sorts of items.

I worked a gas station after school and on weekends. We also gave a 2 cents per gallon discount to regular customers.
