I started driving in October 1970. If I recall correctly, I paid as low as 25 cents a gallon for gas back then.

I want to say 34 cents a gallon back in the late 60's or early 70's, but it's been a long time. I remember going through two tanks of gas a night in my 1970 SS 396 SS Nova cruising back-and-forth from the McDonald's on Northwest Hwy. in Arlington Hts. to the Scott's Restaurant on Rand Rd. in Mt. Prospect. I also remember waiting in line to get gas during the gas shortage in the 70's.

Gulftane (one grade below the old leaded regular) at 16.9 cents per gallon. It was 1962 and I was in high school.

Melting Slicks
The lowest I paid was 12.9 cents and Sunoco 240 (highest octane at the time) was 16.9 in the late 50's However, you made $0.50 per hour working after school
