I'm pretty sure that Auntie June put lots of things in her hope chest!! Oh my!! Green Stamps! I don't remember getting them from the gas stations, but they must have. S&H & every few books, my mother would let me have the $2 for licking all those stamps. I used to love filling the books, even when I didn't get anything for them. Odd child, I was...

We even had a redemption store where I lived, too! [image]local://upfiles/416509/7B3B45C4A22F4D929219817401AC4ECB.jpg[/image] Edited to add: They still exist... sort of! S&H Greenpoints

San Francisco East Bay about 1976, 58 cents. I remember it was the same price per gallon as fresh dungeness crab was per pound at the Safeway next to the gas station. Tell you what, I miss the 58 cent crab more than I do the cheap gas.

25 cents a gallon at the Clark station on Clark Street in downtown Stevens Point, Wisconsin. I remember wondering what the heck the world was coming too when it skyrocketed to .30 a gallon. My dad put in an underground bulk tank by the garage so we could buy 500 gallons at a time and save money... he was worried that the way things were going, the day would come when we would see 50 cent a gallon gasoline. Of course, my mother and I were convinced he was insane.
