Imported Gasoline Was Sold at This Service Station, During the Fuel Crisis in the Fall and Winter of 1973-74...02/1974

from U.S. National Archives

  As of 2010, that gas that was $1.74/gal would be $7.61/gal. The national salary average in 1974 was $8030.76 (equivalent to $35,124 in today's dollars.).

  And don't forget the gas mileage was worse back then! A VW Beetle got around 25, a Valiant with slant-six and auto might hit 20, an average fullsize Chevy or Ford would get in the low teens and if you had a Caddy you were lucky to see 10.
