Notes: Retail price includes federal and state taxes. Price is for regular leaded gasoline until 1975 and for regular unleaded gasoline thereafter.

This graph shows the trend of actual and inflation-adjusted gasoline prices from 1950 to 2023. There were gasoline price spikes in 1974 and 1980 caused by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) Oil Embargo and Iran-Iraq War, respectively. The economic recession caused a price crash in 2009 after a peak in 2008. Oil prices peaked in 2012 as a result of high global demand and increasingly costly extraction methods. They dropped in 2020 because of decreased demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic but rebounded in 2021. In 2022, prices reached the highest point since 2014 and then dropped $0.72 in 2023.
