Yep. You could get a gallon of gas for 20 cents. In a local gas station war my dad bought gas for 10 cents a gallon and filled up a 55 gallon drum he "borrowed" from work. Sure helped with the budget for buying milk, bread and eggs.

I recall my grandpa telling the story about how as a teenager he could go to the movies and on the way home stop and get a moon pie and RC cola for a nickel.
