You can see the actual prices as well as the inflation adjusted prices.
As politicians struggle to find a solution, high gas prices continue making consumers unhappy. The fuel market was shaken by Russia’s invasion last month. In March, the price of a barrel oil shot up, leading to an increase in pump prices. Some people think back to cheaper gas in their youths. However, as with most memories, the cheap gas memories are also distorted. Gas has been volatile since the 1940s, when prices fluctuated.
These fluctuations are less severe when inflation is taken into account. The data from the past 80 years show that gas prices have not been stable. However, inflation helps to smooth out sharp rises or falls. The numbers below will show you if gas prices are higher today than they were when you first began driving.
