In 1950 the average income per year was $3,210.00 and by 1959 was $5,010.00.
In 1950 a gallon of gas was 18 cents and by 1959 was 25 cents.

At least that is what thepeoplehistory.com site states ;)

As with a lot of things, this would depend on location. In So. Il. the only time gas was two bits a gallon was when there was a gas war going on. Some times when a station ran out of regular, they would give you ethyl for the regular price. This was 1957 to1960.
