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

As a kid in the late 60's I remember my father pulling into a gas station selling gas for 19c a gallon, he immediately exits and goes across the street and gets it for 17c a gal

My sophomore in high school, cousin was a year older, had a Jeep. Decided on one of our half days to go up to Hooters about 50 miles away. Gas light comes on, the other two guys with us plus myself were chipping in for gas, my cousin pulls into the station, but sees that the price is 5 cents higher than the station we’d passed 10 minutes before, so he turns around, drives back in that direction, 3 miles later , we’re alongside the road out of gas.
