In 1998 the motor industry was still using whale oil as their primary source of fuel. By 1999, the fuel industry caught on to something called 'fossil fuels', and thus, a revolution was born.
It was about 100 rubles per gigalitre.
According to COSTCO, they monitor the nearby gas stations and attempt to keep their prices lower than those in a 3-5 mile radius. I have been told that they may change their prices several times per day depending on the fluctuation of other prices in their area.
This is the price of crude oil. The amounts will vary depending on the supply and demand that is placed on the oil.

i don't no wher that is but mate we just ride cows around our parts every1 has them im getting my son one 4 his 16 bday
I got gas yesterday (30 May 2011) for 1.65 EUR per liter. There are about four liters in a gallon (liters are slightly smaller than quarts). The current USD to EUR exchange rate is at 0.69. That's 6.60 EUR or $9.57 USD per gallon.
Gas pump prices that are around $3 a gallon now may seem like a bargain by the time your kids are on Easter egg hunts.
Pump prices have risen nearly 9 percent since Dec. 1 and topped $3.10 a gallon this week. That's the highest level since October 2008. The price may rise or fall a little over the next few months, but analysts expect it to range between $3.20 and $3.75 gallon by March and April ahead of the summer driving season.
The national average for regular gasoline about $3.12 a gallon on Friday, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. That's nearly 12 cents more than a month ago and 38 cents above a year ago.
Average pump prices range from $2.81 to $3.70 in major cities. For example, the average in Salt Lake City is $2.74 a gallon and in New Orleans it's $2.97 a gallon. Drivers in San Francisco pay $3.44 a gallon, and in Honolulu gas is $3.58 a gallon.
Americans typically drive less in the winter. Demand is about 1 percentage point higher than a year ago but remains weaker than the historical average, said energy analyst Jim Ritterbusch. The nation's gasoline supplies remain above the five-year average.
Over the next couple of months, refineries will conduct regular maintenance to prepare for the changeover to summer driving mixes. That could affect supplies, but gas prices should remain steady to a few cents more, according to oil analyst Tom Kloza of Oil Price Information Service.
By spring he expects the average price to rise to between $3.50 and $3.75 a gallon. Ritterbusch expects $3.20 to $3.25 a gallon by Memorial Day.
For every penny the price at the pump increases, it costs consumers overall an additional $4 million, according to Cameron Hanover analyst Peter Beutel. If the price goes up a dime a gallon, consumers pay $40 million more each day for that increase.
Crude oil prices fell again on Friday as traders speculated about whether China may impose more restrictions to control the growth of its economy, and looked for more signs that the U.S. economy is headed for better days
The US average in 2010 was $2.79 per gallon. That would be about $3.00 per gallon in today's dollars (2014).
In The year 1986 gasoline was .89 a gallon. I was (as the youth call it today ) "Ghostriding the whip" quite a bit. lol
The US average in 1999 was $1.17 per gallon. That would be about $1.65 per gallon in today's dollars (2014).
To fully understand this is to know the term Supply and demand ... Supply and demand is when you have a lot of one thing and there's not a lot around like oil, gold or sliver etc ... the more people want the oil compounded by that lack of it will raise the price of it ...
Oil is set by the oil cartels and the government. They have their own reasons, including greed to set the prices the way they do.
Depends on a few things, like where you were, what time of year, and what type of gas. I was looking for the same info, and apparently our government provides this data to us via the following link: http://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/wrgp/mogas_history.html Good luck!
I believe the first years of circulation of petrol amongst civilians and the first vehicles occurred around 1912. If this is true, and I'm not 100% certain, the price was approximately 18 to 21 cents a gallon.
In 1960, the US national average price of a gallon of regular gasoline was 31 cents - equivalent to about $2.28 per gallon in 2010.
$0.31/gallon in the US. That was the same as $2.46/gallon today.
At the beginning of 1920, the average price of gasoline in the United States was 17 cents per gallon. However, the gas shortage occurred in 1920, and as such, the average price of gas rose to about 30 cents a gallon in less than 6 months during 1920.
not likely. It is a valuable commodity and the major oil companies are manipulating the market making billions in profit. Plus the USA is significantly reluctant to become independent in oil resources. I agree,its not likely. "I doubt we'll ever see 32 cent gas ever again," my mom said. But now 2.00 gas sounds like it dream doesn't it? I do believe we may see 2.00 gas someday. Let's stay optimistic! :) well right now where i live gas went down to $1.68! gas is going down but i do agree about how we'll never see 32 cent gas again. :)
