Gas wars in 1964-67 drove Regular (84 octane) down to 0.19 then would

rise back to  $0.25 - 0.29.  Avgas Red 80 was 0.50 per US gallon.  That

was still the era of a '48 Ford with Flat head V-8. The Arab Oil crisis

of 1973 (for getting soundly thumped by the Israelis) started the rise.

I can remember when a 0.03 (10%)rise would invoke threats of death at

the pump.  10% swings now only flush out political parties each few

years.



The Glass balls were still spinning in Richfield pumps until 1958.



In 1990, I was still able to get a tanker full of Purple 115-135 Warbird

avgas into Denver.  Now you have to smuggle a 5 gallon Blitz can into

Reno in September.
