Gas Buddy says with some issues in the Plains and Great Lakes regions as the transition to winter blends begin, we could have the streak of falling prices snapped this week. However, while gasoline prices might nudge higher, diesel prices should continue to ease after a much-needed jump in inventories last week.

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.
