...just a year ago.

i've been keeping track of my gas bill and mileage since i got my wrx just a year ago (happy 1st b-day).

anyways, 2 weeks after i got it (dec 28, 2001), i went on my usual trip to vegas for CES. one thing i notice from last year was around january 2002, premium unleaded was around $1.33'ish.

in fact, one stop in bakersfield, the 91 gas was $1.11!!!

then in march, it shot up to around $1.65'ish. it has been around that price. lately, it has bumped up a dime to over $1.70'ish...

damn...

 

2.15? damn!

 

try 80pence a liter.

which equals to about 6 bux a gallon!

u guys dont know until you have been out of the states the cost for gas

 

old man voice: when I was in my early twenties you could buy gas fer 52 cents a gallon



yep gas prices are a climbing fellas

 

Yep, we have the cheapest gas in the world! I believe, on an inflation adjusted basis, gas is cheaper now than it was in the early 80's.

 

i just noticed how much the gas prices have went up. i used to pay around ~$1.72 for 91 octane now the price jumped to $1.89

, but its all good because i just put some some air in my tires for my bmx.

 

Gas prices in the US are just about the cheapest in the world, and relative to inflation, it's cheaper here than it was almost 35 years ago. Back when it was $.80 a gallon, most folks had less than that to spend for it- and their cars used twice as much gas.
