Gas in  the mid 60's was around $0.30 per gallon.



My memory isn't as good as JR's but I remember gas under a dollar a gallon  
just a few years ago, 2003 or so. 
 
According to an inflation calculator I found on the net 
(_http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl_ (http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl)  
(http://www.westegg.com/inflation/) ) $0.30 would be $1.93 in 2006,  $0.78 in 1979 is like 
$2.18 today.
 
BTW: Wichita is usually one of the cities with the lowest gas prices $2.77  
today.
