$0.79 per galon. (Miami, FL).
I dug out some old home-movies taken with my family back from 1983 ( I was 20 yrs old ). There was a scene in a gas station while pumping and the signs read $0.79 Unleaded.

As late as 1990 I remember paying LESS than $1.00/gal while driving from New York to Illinois. It was not that big of a deal. Regular was in the high .80s to low .90 in some gas stations. Silver was 10 cents more and super was 20 cents higher.
So paying 90/$1.00/$1.10 for Reg\Plus\Super was pretty much the norm and that was 7 years after your question. So that movie is definitely right in its prices

I just remember 73 when it was around .44 a gallon right before we had the gas shortages.Then it shot up like a rocket.

Well, if you lived in California, it would have been $1.11/gallon.
Here's the link:

That also shows the price adjusted for inflation to today's dollars.
Michigan, by contrast, was $1.26/gallon.

Hope it helps!
