Why was it is stable up to 2000?
And with much better gas milage, it’s cheaper than ever.
My first car was my parent’s hand-me-down Dodge Aspen station wagon, which got 14/18 city-highway mph.
I remember when that 2008 spike hit. It hurt.
I saw some $2.39s in my city today.
I’m so happy I had a 30+mpg beater during the 2008 recession. I remember there being times I could not afford a full tank for gas in a 12 gallon car.
It’s amazing with the price of pretty much everything increasing that gasoline remains relatively stable.
Gas is a commodity. Electricity generation is a technology. EVs will win.
