Started driving at 16 in 1970 in a '61 Volkswagon which blew up inside of 3 months, and then moved to a '66 Chevy Impala that just wouldn't quit running, regardless of the beating it took. Fuel averaged 35 cents or so a gallon. Went through a small town in northern Iowa during a gas war in about '73 or '74 and filled up at 27-28 cents a gallon.
Everythings relavent, as my wages in 1970 as a school kid, grocery store part-time employee were $1.60 per hour.
