You know, like the modern nostalgia of "I remember when gasoline.
was 25 cents a gallon," etc.


How about 8.9 cents a gallon in 1973?


Huh? I can remember 19 cents in 1960

On a military base? Gas in the US in '73 was around 40-50 cents, I
think. I got it in Alberta in ~'78 for ~50 cents (for a real gallon,
so 40 cents a US gallon), but that was remarkably low.


Speaking to Terrell, or me? My 19 cents was Jentane brand in Boston
(in 1960).

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
