The Rise of Gas Prices

History of gas prices

Life was simple in 1919. Long commutes to work were not common, two-car garages were unheard of, and rush hours didn’t exist. Not only that, but owning a car was about as strange as owning a jet pack today. People didn’t worry about gas prices in 1919 like we stress about it today, but if they did they could breath easily because gas was only 25 cents per gallon. The history of gas prices is long and confusing, but today we are paying almost three dollars more a gallon than we were even 12 years ago.

Today the average gas price in Dayton Ohio is $3.65. In the 1960s the gas price from 1919 had only risen about 5 cents. Today gas prices can raise more than five cents over one night. So what is the reason for this rise in gas price? We have answers for you and solutions to the best way to save at Matt Castrucci Nissan.

In the early 1900s the demand for a car was little to none. As technology started growing at a faster rate and families began to have more places to go the demand grew for not only one car per family but two. Today it is common for a family to have two cars and then three when the kids are old enough to drive. This is quite a jump from the early 1900s when owning even one car was a luxury.  Read the rest of this entry >>
