Apparently the price of gasoline went to $1.00
sometime around June of 1979. One of the major car dealers in Minot at the
time, Fisher Motors, ran an ad to “Relieve Your Gas Pains”. He was quoted as
saying $1.00 gas is not the end of the road. He claimed the luxury cars that
his dealership sold all made 18 miles to the gallon or higher. Fisher Motors
also held a mileage seminar every hour on the hour in mid June to show
customers how to get the maximum mileage possible. On a side note, I have a
1976 Chrysler New Yorker with a big block motor and I have gotten over 20 miles
per gallon on the highway.
