I can recall the early 1970's. I had a 69 Corvette Coupe. 350/350 with a crane cam, Hooker headers, 3 bbl Holley on an Edelbrock hi rise, 4:11 gears, etc. I worked about 45 miles from my home, all small towns and two lane roads the entire way. You'd barely get up to 50 mph , then a few miles later slow for the next village.
I couldn't make the trip on a tank of fuel. Had to fill up on the way home. I was also ALWAYS on the gas and any start was about as maximum as the local LE would allow.
I forget what Sunoco 260 cost at the time but I recall my daily fuel was like $12 or maybe ten.
How times have changed!
