ha ha, my grandpa owned an independent gas station here for many years, brought his own gas up by rail from Texas. He retired in the late 60's. My grandma did the books. I remember "gas wars" when the stations would all cut the prices...I clearly remember 30 cents a gallon and dropping down to 14 cents sometimes...at least I think I remember that...or was that the cost of a loaf of bread...
