So, how much did a gallon of gasoline cost in 1955?

All I remember was I could fill up my motorcycle, less than 2 gallons,
with Amoco premium HiTest (White gas) for $0.50.

Were you in California then too?

I absolutely recall Regular being as low as 19.9 for regular in 1972 in
Corpus Christi and Premium being in the 30's all over Texas.


I remember "gas wars", where the stations would lower their price to
grab some action. Lowest I recall was .09. And you got green stamps or
a free glass with a fill up.

There was a free market then.

Those days are long gone.
