Answer #1:

The US average in 1971 was 36 cents per gallon. That would be about $2.09 per gallon in today's dollars (2014).

============================

Answer #2: (from another contributor)

In 1971, a phenomenon called a 'gas war' used to happen occasionally. That

was a period of time when the filling stations in some area had a price war, each

trying to post the cheapest gas on their sign and bring people in.

I was commuting to college daily at the time, and I can confirm that 36 cents is

a reasonable figure for the average at that time, at least where I was living and

working.

But the reason I stopped in to add anther answer was to tell you that during the

'gas wars', I frequently bought gas for 19 cents a gallon. And for a time, the gas

wars were so common that I was able to commute between work and school 5 days

a week entirely on 19-cent gas.
