Where did I do that? Your post compared 2007 to 2015. I found a source which showed both, and currently gas is lower than in 2007.

I guess this math concept called "integration" escapes you.

You are advocating a child's understanding of things. You have to integrate over the whole range. Not just take the beginning and end.

If your data was linear, you could do it that way. As the data in question is decidedly erratic, you cannot.

Is that how you turn 25% into 100%?

Or a decline into an increase?
