What year was gas 25 cents per gallon?

Gasoline prices reached approximately 25 cents per gallon in the early 1970s. In fact, during the late 1960s and early 1970s, prices fluctuated around this level before significant increases occurred due to the oil crisis in 1973. Prices have varied widely since then, with 25 cents per gallon being a historical benchmark from an earlier era of fuel pricing.
