Nice piece of nostalgia, Del. One doesn't have to go back to the 40s for those prices. Wasn't it rationed back then because of the war? The price per gallon here in north Louisiana was 25 cents in the early 70s. It was the "alleged" world oil shortage in the late 70s or early 80s that drove the prices up. Now the oil companies and governments don't give a reason. They just up the price and our governments allow it. It just plain and simple greed.

Yes. I remember the 19 cents also. I have had few questioning if gas was really ever 29. As I recall it was still 29 in the late 40's. Thanks for your comment.

You had to do this on the day our prices at the pump hit $1.05.9 Cdn per litre, didn't you, Del! Oh well, it's like the weather...wait a few days and it will change!

Now I am showing my age. Yes, in the 1940's when this kind of pump was the standard type gas was 29 cents a gallon. Do not get too envious of those times as wages were equally as low.

Geesh, we are starting to push $1.00 a litre. $.29 sounds wonderful to me. What a beautiful old pump.

29cents? Gas was never that cheap surely! It's just about $1.50 in NZ now.
Great photo though!!! A real piece of history!
