Do you have a source besides a jpg from an anonymous Reddit user who does not cite their references?
When the top line in the Reddit post looks nothing like the top line on this graph you know they have been jiggling the numbers.

They've jumped 50% in a month. Why aren't you complaining?

When oil is $100/barrel or higher:
Trump - 7 days
Biden - 4 months (at one point $140)
Hussein - 3 1/2 years

I’m not going to try to figure out how to copy the graph and post it for you on my phone. Just google this - “graph of historical gasoline prices versus adjusted based on inflation” Or look here Graph
I want you to look at this graph you linked, for a moment, and ask yourself how the frick it makes any sense:
Gas prices dropped over 40% from 2013-2016 but “inflation adjusted” gas prices only dropped like 3-4%? Do you think we went through some period of rapid deflation?
30 secs of digging into the source reveals the problem. They indexed for inflation by using the gasoline component of the CPI. Not the CPI.. just the gasoline component of it. The gasoline component of the CPI is.. the price of gas.
In other words, they indexed the price of gas for inflation by comparing it to the price of gas. Hence the flat line. That chart is bullshite.
It is true that real gasoline prices from ~1975-1985 and from ~2005-2014 were the same or higher than today. For the other 30 years in that time span, they’ve been considerably lower than today.

You would be surprised at how many people are living paycheck to paycheck. $37 dollars could mean feeding a family dinner or not I guess.
Well it ain't gas prices causing people to live paycheck to paycheck.

I used to complain until I found out what it costs in other countries

If only wages kept up, all would be cool.

That’s nice and all, but how does knowing what my parents were paying for gas fifty years ago help me today?

I remember the gas crisis in the 70's when you could only buy gas every other day. The used car lots were full of those 396 Chevelles at the time. People could not afford the gas to keep them on the road.
My dad had a 1976 Monte Carlo with a 454 at that time

Funny story. I was in Singapore years ago and we headed to the dock so I could go offshore. It's 3 of us in this tiny truck. The driver is from Malaysia. We have a 2 hour drive to the dock and he says "Oh damn, we need gas". He pulls at the station and puts $10. He says that'll be enough.
I laughed and told him we running out of gas. They sell it in liters not gallons. He said it's plenty enough. We didn't make it 10 minutes down the road and we were empty. Waited 30 minutes and road safety shows up, fills the truck and off we go.

I noticed this morning how packed the car wash down the road was. $8.95 for the bare minimum wash and $29.00 for the premium. Apparently we are not hurting enough.
