Does anyone know of a source for gasoline pump prices (not a price index) by province (or even just Alberta) for 1960-1964? I've found prices for later years via NRCan.
The fact that analysts compiled pump prices in some publications <http://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2008/lop-bdp/prb/prb0755-e.pdf> could be an indication that they aren't available in an official publication, but any leads would be helpful.
Answer
There might be some information in the following publications. I have copied some records from our library catalogue but I have not confirmed whether they include useful details. The last title may not be useful as it may not have historical information. Also, our library does participate in interlibrary loan if you are interested in borrowing titles. If you want to check further you can use our library catalogue via the website at: <http://legislative.voyager.uregina.ca:7208/vwebv/searchBasic>.
