In the year 1967, the average retail price of gas in the U.S. was $0.33.

This is equivalent to $2.47 in 2018 dollars. National Average Price of gas as of 8/20/18. $2.838. It's $2.69 around here.

Lol , In the early 70's I absolutely refused to buy Sunoco 260 because it was an outrageous 45 cents per gallon. no runaway


I also remember 31 to 33 cents per gallon gasoline when CocaColas from a vending machine was 10 cents.

The ratio of gasoline price to vending machine Cokes has stayed pretty stable.
The ratio of a Mars MilkyWay bars to gasoline has also stayed relatively constant.

The above ratios have been more stable that the ratio of the price of crude oil to either a troy ounce of silver or Gold.
