I was about to say, it wasn't the price so much, as it was the availability, we usually carried at least 10 gallon extra to hope to get closer to home on the return trip, this time is different, the cost determines how far you go, I remember the rationing, and the stamps during the big one, I was pretty young, but it was demanding on everyone's mind to be able to have a job and be able to get there and get paid, to get food for the family, and coal to keep the house warm, we lived a lot off the land, but we survived, I think about that now, and in the 70s.
