I remember Diesel going over $5 in summer of 08
It really hurt.  I had been putting $20 in a 5 gallon can, and when 
that went under 4 gallons, I went to $25 to get around 4 gallons.  My 
recollection is that Diesel hit $5.239 or $5.259.  I think gasoline 
hit $4.999


I remember gasoline being $1.399 in Dec-Jan the following winter... 
Much nicer!

 Say what? Gas is under $4 now, some places probably under $3.50. 3
 years ago was 2009, gas has been over $2 at least since 2005 which is
 as far back as I have record of in my fuel economy spreadsheet. I know
 I have records back to 2003 somewhere. So no, fuel prices have NOT
 doubled in the last 2 years, in 2005 I paid $2.57/gal for diesel, today
 I'm looking at $3.79, only $1.22 increase.


My records say prices peaked around 13 Jul 08; regular was $4.089/gal and
diesel was $4.809/gal.

Prices dropped to $1.589/gal for regular and $2.329/gal for diesel on
29 Dec 08.

I'd attach a graph, but its larger than the 40 kilobyte approval limit
(about 180 kB, actually) and would delay things.
