Re: {Chrysler 300} Do you remember how much gas cost the year you turned

In 1977 we syphoned it from our parents' cars, sometimes neighbor's. We bemoaned the cost of driveshafts u-joints and tires, those seemed to perish more quickly back then, especially on various parents 440 equipped 300 Sports, New Yorkers and Town & Country wagons.

Replacement wheel covers could be a burden, beer and liquor were expensive, along with certain unmentionables, but gas not so much.

I worked at a HI-FY gas station. Gas was 26 cents - 29.9 cents for the longest time, which included Pennsylvania's

higher than average gas tax. Got paid $1.60/ hour to do pumping, windshields, oil check & tire check.

I recall the gas price jumped from 29 all the way to 54 cents in one day. I pointed out the price increase to all the

customers coming in. Most of them just drove away
