Cost of petrol at the pump

Here's a graph of the price I paid at the pump. Units are United States dollars per gallon. I have no adjusted for inflation or other price-affecting factors; it's just the raw amount I paid, divided by the number of gallons I purchased.

You can download the raw data as a big table.

A graph of the price of gas that I paid at the pump. Each data point is a time that I bought gas. It begins on 1995-01-10 & continues until my most recent visit to the gas station.

It's interesting (in my opinion) that prices usually jump once a year, then drop, then rise slowly. If memory serves, the jump coincides with shock, relayed in the news. Then the drop quiets everyone. Then the prices creep upwards again, this time with little or no fanfare.

My usage in mile/gallon

Here's a graph that shows how much I spent on gasoline each day & how must gasoline I used. Or look at this plain HTML table.
