Also 7 miles to the gallon at $5.00 per gal. now days is not OK gas mileage to me but back in 67 I guess it would have been ok……..
In 1967 in LA, Regular Leaded was about 17 cents per gallon and Premium could get as high as 25 cents per gallon at a station just off the freeway. You could fill a behind-the-seat 20 gallon tank for under a Fiver -- and possibly get change back. Plus a Zodiac-themed coffee mug or other promotional item, and free road maps.
