I was killing some time yesterday afternoon, and caught an episode of "Cops"...there was one of their trademark white-trash-meth head busts right under the sign at a gas station....$1.46 per gallon.
...kinda tipped me that this episode was at least a couple of years old.

I long for the day when we thought fifty cents a gallon sounded absurdly high.

judging fro mthe hairstyle and ford capri i'd say that pic was 1978 or 79..thus $1.03 would hardly be considered cheap

I'm confused. According to your graphs the cost of a gallon of gas is broken down as follows:
|
Feb 2006 |
Mar 2006 |
Taxes |
0.46 |
0.46 |
Distribution & Marketing |
0.25 |
0.10 |
Refining |
0.23 |
0.53 |
Crude Oil |
1.35 |
1.33 |
So, in February, the cost of refining a single gallon of gas was $0.23. One month later, the cost of refining a gallon of gas had more than doubled. Meanwhile the cost of distributing and marketing that gallon of gasoline more than halved.
