Quit whining Alex - you can still get a gallon of the stuff for under $3 if you shop around. In the UK a gallon of unleaded is (in US dollars) $7 - 8 and has been over $9...
That's not inflation, that's the US's history of massively subsidising oil product prices which is starting to lessen. Your gas was artificially cheap, in the same way that our cows milk is...
