Everybody's always complaining about the cost of gas

 

Why gas cost so much in 1955

And for that 4 cents an attendant would check your oil, check your tire pressure, and wash your windshield in addition to filling up your car.

I could borrow my Dad's car, put in $1 worth of gas, go on a date, and bring the car back with more gas in it than when I left.

Of course there was the movie to pay for too—another buck. And popcorn.

And I was making 75 cents/hour mowing lawns or shoveling snow, and babysitting.

Good times.
