The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline was 29 cents in 1953, 1954 and 1955.
Gasonlie costed 87 cent per gallon
it was 18 to 21 cent per gallon which is equal to around $4.50 in todays money.
A cent is 1/100 of a dollar or $0.01. A cent can be divided in to ten mils or $0.001 or 1/1000 of a dollar. The only place a mil is usually seen is in gasoline prices...when you see gas at $ 2.75.9 per gallon it is 2 dollars, 75 cents and 9 mils per gallon. At that price ten gallons would be $27.59, you have to buy ten gallons to see the penny you saved if the price had been $2.76 per gallon. It's an advertising ploy, they think you believe that gallon if gas is $2.75 a gallon when in reality it's $2.76 a gallon.
The national average price of a gallon of regular unleaded fuel in the 1960s ranged from 31 to 35 cents per gallon. (This is equivalent to about $2.15 dollars in 2010).
In 1972 while living in Indiana I paid .35/gal for Regular. Note that this was leaded gasoline.
