For 6 years prior, the average never busted a buck and never since has it. That is the last time that the Nat'l Average was under a buck.

Answer 11

In Florida in 1989 gas was .89 $/gal.

Answer 12

Alright since no one has actually thought about the effects of inflation we need to control for price gains. I would rather pay $2 per gallon in 2003 then $1 in 1980. If you go www.bls.gov they have data for gas prices and inflation. Better yet a google/yahoo search can lead you to the following webpage:

The chart is through April and currently today gas prices are now higher in real terms then 1980.
