I went from working in a gas station in 1956 in Wisconsin to the Army.
I got out in 1959 and went work in a gas station in St. Paul Minnesota in 1960 and the price was still 29.9 ($.29.9).
In ‘53 during gas price war I saw gas at 11 cents for the last part of a day.
By the way, do you know why there is always a .9 cents on the end of the price of gas in the U.S.? ..?.. it is a temporary tax to help the WW two effort.
There is NOTHING more permanent than a temporary tax.
