I know when the Gulf War started in 1991 we had gas go up to 64.9, then it went down to around 50¢ after the war.

I would guess that 50 or 55 cents would be a better average price for 1996.

Yeah, I started driving in about '97 and I clearly remember gas being around $.50 for the first bit.

It's now over 100% higher, which I'll wager is FAR above inflation for other products.
