My grandfather had a grocery and gas station in the Houma area.

He died when I was 3, but I would love to know his gas prices back then in 1963.

Around .64/gallon.

.50 for rcaf license plates, .55 for cajuns or UL bumper sticker, .80 for TSAB

I posted a source that should at least be close for every year . . .

$.18/gal. Gas wars in San Antonio just outside gate at Kelly AFB. Two stations trying to outdo each other. 1970. Insane. 1974 the world went nuts and it was hard to find gasoline.

In general I recall .30 as a low; but short time at .19 in East Texas during those “gas war” days.

[CajunSaint08]

.299

Louisiana was usually a little cheaper than the national average back when.
