Description
While visiting the NC Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC; I ran across a model sign depicting what gas cost back in the 1960s. The price sounds wonderful but when you calculate in inflation (based on 2015 figures) it comes to just under $2 gallon dependent on which year is used to calculate. Though based on the history of the Shell Oil Company, the Super Shell didn't make it's debut until 1979 when gas was on average 86 cents or $2.31 with inflation.
