Gas Prices

thick said:
why was gas 83 cents about 4 years ago in davenport?
It was more than 4 years ago and it was due to high reserve inventory and very high production by OPEC nations. The last time gas was that low, IIRC, was Mark McGuires last season. I remember cuz a local station had 71 cent gas for a day or two to honor his HR record.
 
At the time, crude was around $7-8 per barrell. Compare that with $30-33 a barrell now.
 
I don't like gas prices either but if you'll pay $1.00 for a 16 oz bottle of water, why complain about a gallon of gas going for $1.63 ? I remember buying soda for 10 cents and gas for 25 cents a gallon when I was in high school,1973.
