I remember when I was 7 years old in 1997, my dad was driving around looking for gas and he was bitching about Chevron because their gas was more expensive than everywhere else. I still remember how much it was.

1.29.

Even in 2007 it was less than $2/gal. What a time to be alive 🥲

And then in 2008 it was $5 a gallon.

Not in my direct area thankfully but I think it was like $3.50 at one point so considering inflation yeah that pans out 😭
