When I started driving, around 1976, I remember paying fifty cents a gallon. It was either leaded or unleaded, fifty or fifty five cents a gallon. When I was a kid in the early sixties I remember a loaf of bread, wrapped in paper (plastic bags came years later), with a .25 cents stamp on the end of the loaf. It was Holsum brand. They had a monopoly here in Puerto Rico for that kind of bread.

I remember gas being .99 cents and going up over 1 dollar. Because the pumps weren't able to calculate above .99 and the attendants had to manually make the calculations on all sales until the pumps were updated. I know it was lower than that, but that stands out in mind for some reason.

27.9 in 1971 at the local Hess station. Name brands like Esso were about 32.9. Sunoco 260 was outrageous at about 38.9 as I recall. Then there was the first oil embargo in late 73 when OPEC decided to punish the USA for supporting Israel. Gas went all the way up to 49.9 !!! Nobody cared how much it was, but there wasn't any gas to be had. Gas stations would open for an hour at a time and have lines a mile long. People would follow tankers down the highway to get to the station that got gas.

I am 71 years old and as a young man still in school and driving my fathers car on special occasions, I purchased gas for about .24 per gallon. I remember driving through Roseland, Indiana about the same time and experienced a gas war in that area and saw prices at .19 per gallon. I can also remember the nickel coke and the nickel candy bar, but would have to guess on the price of a loaf of bread at .15 per loaf.

12 cents a gallon for gas during a gas war. 19 cents a gallon elsewise in Arizona in 1968. At that time a loaf of Wonder or similar white bread sold for 17 cents for a 1-1/2 pound loaf. A two bedroom one bath house went typically for $12,000 and a Chevy II sold for $2200. Wages were typically in the area of $6000 a year, but jobs easy to find, stable and quite easy to live on the income. You could by tacos 12 for $1 at Jack in the Box. Cokes and candy bars 10 cents from a macine, even ceaper at a store. Wy doesn't someone invent a time machine? I want to go back!

I remember less than 24 cents/gallon in the 60's when I first drove. You also got a strip of green stamps and a drinking glass if you filled up spending at least 5 dollars. The glass usually had some kind of local design on it, like a green tint and a raised image of a Saguaro Cactus.

Oddly enough, they were both around 20 cents. When when my pal turned 18, we went on a road trip. We crossed the Sierras thru Yosemite and went down Tioga pass to Lee Vining. At that point, the most expensive gas I had ever seen was there in that town. It was 51.9 cents a gallon! I recently went to Bridgeport CA, a town about 25 miles north of Lee Vining and saw gas for sale there at $5.69 a gallon for regular, and 5.99 a gallon for diesel.

Gas: 25 cents per gallon in "upstate" New York. Note that this was before "unleaded" was a thing, before self-serve gas stations were a thing, before "the Energy Crisis", etc.. Bread: my memory is less clear, I think 10 cents per loaf.

When I was young the price of gas ran 10 to 15 cents per gallon. the least I remember paying was 19 cents per gallon. Although not paid for the cheapest gas I ever had was gotten with an Arkansas credit card. Had to be careful though or I would get a mouth full of gas! As for bread I think it was 12 to 25 cents per loaf until the big grain deal with Russia back in the 1960s when bread price shot up to 50 to 75 cents per loaf. It has just climbed ever since.
