**I remember paying 25.9 for “Ethel” in 1972. ***

Must have been during a “gas war” when Regular got down to 12 cents a gallon.

Wonder how many remember gas wars.

I remember gas wars...S&H Green Stamps...glassware...dinnerware...gas attendents who checked the oil, coolant, tire pressure and swept out the floorboards. And No-Nox gasoline which added lead to stop engine pinging and run-on engines after the ignition was turned off. Adding lead added to the price...then they switched back to unleaded and it...raised the price?
