Prices even at $2.00 gal are historically low.

Gasoline was $.29-$.33 cents per gal (NJ) in the late 1950’s. Adjusting for inflation would put that price at approx. $2.46.

gas back up to $2.60 gal. in SW Pennsylvania..

Just drove North from GA. where I gassed up (at Costco) for $1.96, then in SC. for $1.99 and VA. for $2.05

I realize taxes on fuel in each State differ, but the further North I went the more it costs.

In 1972, gas in Ohio was 36 cents a gallon..seems like yesterday...as I lol.

Often wonder how it was that low when production / transportation/distribution capabilities had to be less than today.

Possible Answer. It’s higher today due to % of taxes added on.... ????

I can remember paying $.30/gal in River Edge, NJ in the early 60s during my teenage years.
