Remember when gas was just $0.21 per gallon? Probably not, because that was all the way back in 1929. But you might remember when gas prices rose more than $0.21 per gallon in just two years, between ... 1973 and 1975! Gas prices in America have an interesting history, and it's revealing to look at their rise and fall alongside historical events like the Korean and Vietnam Wars, oil embargoes, recessions, depressions, and more. This infographic explores gas prices through history and provides that context. Pay attention especially beginning in the 1960s - things get crazy after that, and the crazy train doesn't seem to stop!
