As an expert in historical economics, I can provide you with an estimate of gas prices in the United States during the 1970s. It's important to note that gas prices can vary significantly by region and over time, but on average, the price of gasoline in the U.S. in 1970 was around 36 cents per gallon.

This price, however, does not account for inflation. When adjusted for inflation to present-day dollars, the price would be significantly higher. It's also worth mentioning that the 1970s were marked by significant fluctuations in oil prices due to events like the 1973 oil crisis and the Iranian Revolution in 1979, which led to substantial increases in gas prices.
