| Keywords: text American graph demonstrating the relative affordability of gasoline from the infancy of the petroleum industry to today. The black line represents the national average price of gasoline at each year. The red line represents the national average price of gasoline adjusted for inflation so as to express the historical price in today's (2011) money. (Data expressed in US dollars and US gallons.) Over the last 94 years, the general trend appears to show that gasoline became more affordable over time until about 1999 (exceptions are during the Great Depression [1931-39] and the 'Energy Crisis' era [1973-81]). The graph demonstrates that gasoline has rapidly become as expensive to the average consumer as it was at the end of the First World War.
