Gas is at $3.19 a gallon for 87 octane with 10% ethanol. $3.60 or so for 91 octane without ethanol. It has been this way for 3 months. I think we are lucky. At the beginning of the year we all sat around at the office and figured gas would be at $5.00 or more right now. At the rate of inflation that is going on, gas should be all of $5.00 per gallon.

That has been the price for several weeks in the Hudson area, and really, much of WI and Eastern MN. I work in Vadnais Heights MN and fill at the Sam's Club there. The price has been creeping up but 87 was still 2.93/gallon today.

$2.93 today, adjusted for inflation, was .90 cents back in September 1980. I was a pump jockey and that's the time when we went over $1.00 in NorCal. I can remember the pumps being changed for new ones with the dollar slot for the price.

$5.29 (above, California) adjusts (deflates) to $1.60 a gallon in July, 1980. Did gas ever get to $1.60 in California in 1980?

This, from 2015, is interesting:

https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles...rice-1929-2015

"When adjusted for inflation, the average annual price of gasoline has fluctuated greatly, and has recently experienced sharp increases and decreases. The effect of the U.S. embargo of oil from Iran can be seen in the early 1980's with the price of gasoline peaking in 1982. From 2002 to 2008 the price of gasoline rose substantially, but then fell sharply in 2009 during the economic recession. In 2012, prices reached the highest level in the eighty-year series in both current and constant dollars, but began a steep decline thereafter. In constant dollar terms, the price of gasoline in 2015 was only seven cents higher than in 1929."
