I have seen them all and GAS was 3 cents for Regular and 5 cents for HIGHTEST. We got 2 cents for return pop bottles as they were reused. Pop is called POP because there were no caps and when the cork was pulled out it went POP. I was born south of Bassett Nebraska 07/23-1935 anf my book in Migraine and me & Panic Disorder 7 me. http://55wa.org
