In 1972 the average price of regular gas was 36.9¢ per gallon.
With the 655.18% inflation since then, gas should be $2.789 per gallon.
Last time I filled it was $3.159.
Corrected for inflation, gas is about 13% more today than in 1972.
The $1.199 gas of 1991 should be $2.779 gas today.
But the $3.699 gas of 2012 should be $5.089 today, so something went right and gas prices broke from the rest of inflation.
