This graph shows the trend of gasoline prices from 1950 to 2021 as an inflation-adjusted comparison to 2021 and the actual cost in the given year. 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.
