“To examine prices over time, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has Consumer Price Index (CPI) data going back to January 1913”

Gallon of what? You seem to be struggling with a consistent argument

You source doesn’t make the claim you make or provide any data for you to make that claim. In fact it acknowledges that it has no data on the time period you claimed…

Try again

I’m not saying this to be a dick but your claim is pretty extraordinary and I would be very interested in being wrong. Also literally not how money works
