the price of a gallon of gas reached 2.05 in 1981...then dropped like a rock to under 1.50.

makes me all warm and fuzzy knowing that today, paying over a half a hundo for a tank of gas in inflated adjusted dollars, is better than paying 20 bucks a tank in the 80’s.

Oil Price History and Analysis

Crude oil prices behave much as any other commodity with wide price swings in times of shortage or oversupply. The crude oil price cycle may extend over several years responding to changes in demand as well as OPEC and non-OPEC supply.

“the price of a gallon of gas reached 2.05 in 1981...then dropped like a rock to under 1.50.”

Wanna bet that this peak gas price won’t be followed by a proportionate drop to $2.34 per gallon?

How much were you making an hour in the 80s? ;-)
