Re: Pump gas
I thought it was 102 octane, and I remember pumping a dollars worth and cruising all night. In the 60's it was somewhere between $.30 and $.40 per gallon.

Re: Pump gas
It was 102 octane. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunoco
In 1969, it was around $.36 a gallon in Detroit. When I cruised Woodward Av. with my friends, it cost less than $5.00 for a tank of gas, which would take you less than 100 miles. If you were a kid who worked for the minimum wage, $1.50 an hour, that was just over 3 hours wages to cruise on Friday night.

Re: Pump gas
I don't think that having a gas pump next to an open flame (Fireplace!) is such a good idea!!!
