Pumped gas when I was a kid in school in the 60's. Regular was 26.9, hi test was 29.9. Worked graveyard shift, 11 to 7. Total haul for the shift would be 30-40 dollars. Most of the customers were drunks coming home from the bar, other cretins that time of night. They'd all get a dollars worth, and want their oil checked, and windshield cleaned.

Not only that, but at that time or earlier regular gas was 92 octane and hi test (ethyl) was 101 or 102 octane. I've seen places these days where premium is 89 octane.

The ethanol infused shit they call gasoline nowadays is a joke. Sunoco 260 was the best gas going back then, it was about 35 cents.
Even the low grade gas back then was way better than anything nowadays. Stuff would sit for years, and you could still run it.
I live in Md., and I have to go to Pennsylvania to get ethanol free gas for my carburetored home generator, and hope to get close to a year shelf life, before I rotate it out.
I run strictly 100LL Avgas in my original 70 BB Chevelle, 93 ethanol shit here is almost the same price now.
