Gas price changes since 2002

[5bird7]

Just for fun:

Have kept track of the gas prices since we bought our 02 in June of 02.
not always at the same station so prices at each time could vary
There were more fill-ups than shown so just trying to show quarterly differences - at the end you'll get my point

Premium prices near Fort Worth Tx:
June 2002 - $1.50
Sept 2002 - $1.45
Dec 2002 - $1.50

Apr 2003 - $1.65
June 2003 - $1.55
sept 2003 - $1.76 (labor day weekend)
sept 2003 - $1. 67 (3 weeks after the one above - same station)

DOT, thats just not right to start a gas price thread and stop in the middle for a chili cookoff, are you going to start comparing the price of beans to gas?

18 cents near Hamburg, PA in about 1950.
25 cents in San Antonio in 1972 for premium. Less than $5.00 to fill up my Lincoln (24.5 gal) (I obviously had a few gallons in it.)
$1.82 in San Antonio today, November 8, 2008 for regular.

No beans, no gas.

No recipe - I made potato salad - the old fashioned kind. However there were 14 chili pots and I tasted all of them - and yes, the gas was free!

Re: Gas price changes since 2002

I have put your overview in a little graph Dot.Took the average of each year. It shows the progression of cost over the years. You can simply imagine what gas will cost in two or more years..

Converted in Dollars....one Gallon in NL cost $6.71 right now. Would not fit my graph. But something for all of you in US to think off I guess with the rate it is going up...
To give you any idea...it takes me $120.74 to fill up my Bird when it's empty.

Yeah, but I'll bet beer is a lot less expensive in NL than in the US. Probably tastes better, too.

Re: Gas price changes since 2002

hmm, wonder what a gallon of beer costs?
