After reading some of the posts from others in the time frame I was in high school, realize how good our fuel prices were at the time.
The year I was graduated from high school, there was a price increase; memory isn't real good but seems the most expensive premium went to 18 cents/gallon; before that 14~16 cents.
Regular from a name brand station, ranged from 12~14 cents.
There was a cut-rate station one town away that had 9.9 cent; but my Dad suggested it was "watered down", and not to buy it. I never did.
