In 1950, the average cost of gasoline in the United States was about 27 cents per gallon. If we consider the average annual income at that time to be around $3,300, gasoline would represent approximately 1.2% of a person's income based on typical consumption. This percentage reflects the affordability of gasoline relative to income during that era.
