Fondly remembering a news article on the back of a recipe mom clipped
out of the Detroit Free Press back in about '72 - Headline: "Gas war
continues: Prices down to 31 cents per gallon in some areas" The story
went on to describe a "price war" in Detroit involving several gas
stations trying to undercut each other.

It was even lower in some places: 26 cents/gal at one station in Grand
Ledge, MI, where I used to gas up on my way to Grand Rapids. I remember
filling up my MG there for $1.90, and it was on empty when I stopped for
gas. The car got 35 mpg, too. g
