according to the latest RockAuto newsletter, paraphrased:
Today's $2.50 gallon of gasoline equates to $0.34 per gallon in 1967 US dollars (Gas averaged $0.33 per gallon in 1967 in the US.)
I remember well paying 26.9 in Houston Tx for several years after 1966 - I had a favorite station, some miles out of the way.
You could pay $.36/gal and get an underhood check and a smiling guy to wipe the windshield.
When I finished college in 1970, my first job as an engineer paid $8K/year with no benefits. Bumped it 20x that by retirement time with great benefits.
