Oh boy Michael, now you're bringing back the nostalgia. I remember paying 19 cents to fill my C90 when gas was 19 cents a gallon. Going to the beach dragging my surfboard behind on my home made trailer. On the way back, stopping at McDee to pick up two 19 cents hamburger and a 20 cent french fries. The gas would last me for the rest of the week. Remember when the premium gas was refered to as Ethyl? Those were the days!!

In the 60s, here in a little town north of Atlanta, Ga, there were several independent stations, we called them tank stations since the tanks were mounted up in the air instead of in the ground, that sold bottles of oil. It was recycled, I suppose. They were 19 cents a quart. My Dad had two old Chevy trucks that used almost as much oil as gas and that was his favorite place to fill up. He would put in 10 gallons of gas and or or two qts of oil and spend less that 4 bucks, including his pack of cigs and a coke for me.
