Adjusted for inflation, gas at the pump is cheaper than it was a couple of decades ago. And it's usually cheaper than buying individual bottles of water at convenience stores.
I really don't care. All I care about is that I'm getting gouged horribly while the oil companies go "Cha-Ching" and I'm royally pissed. That was 20 years ago, now is now. 20 years ago has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm paying for gas now. What? That's supposed to make all of us feel good about getting gouged?
Some people...
