In 1968 gas on the interstate highway system was around 40 cents a gallon, but you could get it further off of the interstate for 19 cents a gallon. I remember a gas war in a local city when the price was 17.9 cents a gallon.

What in the **** are you talking about, boy?
You are clueless. You need to read "The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power" by Daniel Yergin, the 1992 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for NON-fiction.

30 cents a gallon.
The last independent supplier went down
in 1972.
Monoply set in. Competition went out.
OPEC gained a strangle hold.
A phony gas crisis arose.
The rest is history.
It has to make us really appreciate the
common sense our forefathers had.
