I worked in a gas station in 1970. The price of gasoline varied from the low to mid $.20s to around $.40/gal., depending the octane rating, and whether or not it was a mainstream refiner or an independent. There were more refineries in the US in 1970 than there are today (2011), and OPEC was only 10 years old.

In 1970, the average price of gasoline in Canada was around 30 cents per liter. This was a time when fuel prices were significantly lower than today, largely due to different economic conditions and lower global oil prices. The oil crisis of the 1970s, however, would soon lead to dramatic increases in gas prices in the following years.

Gas prices surged in late 1970 primarily due to the effects of the 1973 oil crisis, which stemmed from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly the Yom Kippur War. OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) imposed an oil embargo on nations supporting Israel, leading to reduced oil supply and skyrocketing prices. Additionally, rising demand and inflation also contributed to the increase in gas prices during this period.

In 1970, the national average gas price in the United States was approximately 36 cents per gallon. This period marked a time of relatively low fuel costs before the oil crisis of the 1970s, which would lead to significant increases in gas prices. The price of gasoline began to rise sharply in the following years due to various geopolitical factors and changes in the oil market.
