Gas for just less than $0.20/gal was quite common in metro Detroit in
the late '50s.

Known as "gas wars".

So that "point 9" was worth 5%! I sort of remember 32.9/gal in metro
Detroit, but I was too young to drive. My first car. a '69 LeSabre with
its 26 gallon tank remembered it though. Even in 1981, I could
nullify a fifty dollar bill with one tank. : )
