The extra penny was probably the deposit on the bottle. As kids, we used to make good money picking up bottles along the road & turning them in to collect the deposit. When the older guys started getting drivers licenses (but not gas money) we'd round up a crowd of 5 or 6, fan out and find enough bottles to buy a couple gallons of gas, and joy ride all afternoon! Life was much simpler then.
