looks like gas was . 86 cents a gallon. Better hurry down before they put the price up !

That is probably not a gas price as gas in Ontario mid 60's was around 30 cents a gallon......
Who remembers gas wars.......sometimes around 22 and 23 cent a gallon and when we would go to
Niagara drag strip some stations were 19 and 20 cents a gallon........
With the help of my son we were able to dig up a few things in regards to the "Montreal 64" picture.
The street the picture was taken is near 410 Rue St Francois Xavier in Montreal.
Yes that is a gas station and yes that is a sign displaying the price of gas........
The gas station is called Edco (I think there were two stations with that name in Montreal)
We haven't been able to find another picture of the sign or picture of another station (yet)
Now about the gas price sign......
If you look at the picture I have added, you can enlarge this picture + and by holding the left side of the mouse down you can move to the right of the picture.
It's the same picture but more of it, you'll see a reflection of the gas station sign and the price in the window across the street.
In the reflection, the gas price is 36 cents a gallon not 86.
In the reflection, the gas price is 36 cents a gallon not 86.
... and that is the "Grade 1" price, premium fuel price.
