How much did a gallon of gas cost when you first started driving?

I drove my parent's 1971 Road Runner to high school as a junior (September '71 to June '72) and as a senior (September '72 to June '73). Never had a girl (except my sister) in the vehicle with me during those years.

Well, I can tell you from experience getting round third base in the back of an E-body is very frustrating.
