I worked at the Sunoco, it was .37 a gallon. I would put some gas in there and then go to the city limit (Toronto) at Victoria Park and fill the tank for .32 a gallon....They were open SUNDAYS,.....OMG You could not buy gas in the city of Toronto on Sunday, had to drive to Scarborough (Victoria Park)

Here's the math converting Canadian to USA....

$1.48/litre X 3.78 (litres in US gallon) =$5.59 Can $$

$5.59 CD converted to USD = .79Cents = $4.42/US gallon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure our gas is heavily taxed but a lot goes towards help fund our O.H.I.P.

I worked at a Gulf station here in California back in the early 1970's during the summer when I was going to college. I don't remember actual numbers but I think all 3 grades were in the low to mid .40's. I loved working there as the owner was a nice guy and appreciated all his employees.

I can remember gas in the mid $.20 range. Back in the day it took a lot to scoop the loop all night ��

I remember paying 24.9 cents/gallon in August 1968 at a Shell station. It was one of a 4 corner gas station location who were having a price war with each other. $5 to fill my 64 Impala's 20 gallon tank.

This week I paid more than last week. I'll probably be able to re-post this for the next 8 months.

It's not just gasoline prices that are rising. So is Home Heating Oil and Propane.

Winter heating bills set to jump as inflation hits home

Quote:

NEW YORK — Get ready to pay sharply higher bills for heating this winter, along with seemingly everything else.

With prices surging worldwide for heating oil, natural gas and other fuels, the U.S. government said Wednesday it expects households to see their heating bills jump as much as 54% compared to last winter.

Nearly half the homes in the U.S. use natural gas for heat, and they could pay an average $746 this winter, 30% more than a year ago. Those in the Midwest could get particularly pinched, with bills up an estimated 49%, and this could be the most expensive winter for natural-gas heated homes since 2008-2009.

When I bought my 1965 GTO, I got extensive records that the original owner kept. This shows that on Sept. 15, 1965, he paid 33 cents a gallon for what I assume was premium. Not sure where this is, but he bought the car in Elmira NY.
