How about 8.9 cents a gallon in 1973?

Huh? I can remember 19 cents in 1960


At FGt. Rucker Alabama. On base was 8.9 cents. Off base it was
13.9, with the 5 cent in taxes. Two refineries were having a 'Gas
War'. A month later I was in Alaska wher it was almost $2.00 a gallon,
outside the gate at Ft Greely..
