Gas-price war in Los Angeles, early 1940s: One station went, "Eight gallons for a dollar!" Across the street: "Ha! Twelve for a dollar!" Seems to me the usual price was around twenty or twenty-five cents. That's about what it was when I started driving, IIRC. Of course we overestimated our mileage, and sometimes had to spend some late-night time draining the hoses at closed service stations, just to get home.
